Infographic Reveals What One Coca-Cola Can Does To You Body In Just An Hour
The infographic details seven changes that happen to your body during the first hour after drinking a Coke, and let us warn you – it is not a happy revelation. When you drink a can of Coca-Cola or any other soda, THIS happens within minutes…
Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic, suggests that the impact of soda on your bones and teeth is tied more to regularly drinking the fizzy stuff. “Should you worry if you’re the healthiest person in the world and you have one can of Coke on vacation? Not really. Just don’t do it on a regular basis.”
“If you’re drinking one soda on occasion … that doesn’t equate to it being necessarily unhealthy,” said Heather Mangieri, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of the nutrition consulting company Nutrition Checkup in Pittsburgh.
Registered dietitian-nutritionist Karen Ansel, co-author of The Calendar Diet: A Month by Month Guide to Losing Weight While Living Your Life, told Yahoo Health that though the infographic highlights some of the concerns with drinking soda on a regular basis, some of the effects of caffeine from soda listed in the infographic “are a bit of an exaggeration” unless a person is sensitive to caffeine.
Mangieri also added, “Saying that sugar just automatically turns to fat is an over-exaggeration for sure. If you’re well-fed, and the calories are all extra, your body doesn’t need it, then yes, your body can store that as fat. But if your body can use those calories as energy, then you’re not necessarily going to immediately store that as fat.”
A Coca-Cola spokesperson told MailOnline, “People have enjoyed drinking a Coca-Cola for more than 129 years. Like all soft drinks, it is perfectly safe to drink and can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle. We provide a choice of colas to meet the needs of different consumers, including options that are lower sugar, sugar free and caffeine free.”

I feel fortunate that I never much cared for fizzy drinks, although lately I have developed more fondness for beer.
Neither did I feed soft drinks to my kids, myself preferring juices, coffee, good whiskey (which I guarded jealously LOL), and just good, clean water from the forest well on our plot far from neighbors or town.
While I've done no little damage to my skeleton, mostly from foolishly moving heavy materials quickly, only recently, as I have entered old age, have these injuries begun to limit my abilities.
I only hope my children enjoy the same benefits of strong bones as I have, though without the injuries induced by the pressures of the hourly wage.
Thanks for sharing!
RESPECT!
I really love Coca Cola and drink 2 liters a day! I still do not understand, is it harmful to my health or is it normal?
Actually, it is normal that it is harming your health. Refined sugar and carbonic acid are nowhere near being foodstuffs. They chemically titillate your senses and tickle your sweet receptors. Normal, but bad.
Very good post people should know about it !!!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this informative post.
Thanks for appreciating it!
I really believe sugar itself is one of the worst things to put in your body... Besides that, this is loaded with other chemicals.... And it's only a 12 fl.oz can!!
I'd rather save those poor qualities in a beverage for my alcohol consumption ;D
It's true that this has a similar physiology to the pathways of heroin metabolization, another sickening fact... I have been around many an addict and I find they have a strong sweet tooth typically, I wonder if this is a factor.
Anyways, these are only SOME of the horrible things that sodas and colas in particular do to the body.
Thanks for the awareness @anonnews
This is a great post! I hope people heed the warning about what refined sugar syrup and carbonation are doing to them!
I upvote and follow you.
