What are the harmful effects of Coca-Cola:
Coca-Cola is full of compounds that are harmful to our health, which can lead to problems in the short and long term. Just know that a single can or bottle contains 10 tablespoons of sugar, in addition to other chemicals that affect different important organs of our body.
What happens when you consume Coca-Cola:
At 10 minutes: receiving 10 tablespoons of sugar in one fell swoop causes a devastating effect on our body. The reason why we do not vomit is due to the production of phosphoric acid that our body provides.
At 20 minutes: glucose causes insulin levels to rise causing the liver to convert all of the sugar into fat. Remember that a single can or bottle contains up to 10 tablespoons of sugar.
At 40 minutes: our body will have completely absorbed caffeine. As a result, the pupils dilate, the blood pressure rises and the liver releases more sugar in the torrent. This, in turn, causes the adenosine receptors (the predominant molecule in the sleep process) to block and prevent us from becoming sleepy.
At 45 minutes: our body begins to produce more dopamine, a substance that stimulates our cerebral pleasure centers. This type of effect is compared to that produced by heroin.
At 60 minutes: after an hour it is likely that we feel that desire to urinate. What we do not know is that when urinating we will be evacuating calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which were directed towards the bones, among other important substances that could not be absorbed by our body. As time goes by, it begins to have a low sugar and it is likely that the consumer is slow with their activities and lazy. As we have already mentioned, in addition to its high sugar content, Coca-Cola also has other components that are harmful to health. Here we share its main components and effects on our health.
Carbonated water: this ingredient causes gastric secretion, increasing the acidity of the gastric juice and also Flatulence.
Sodium cyclamate or sugar substitute: it is a component that gives a taste up to 200 times sweeter than sugar. The research found that its use increases the risk of bladder cancer, so in 1969 it was banned by the US Food and Drug Administration. (FDA, for its acronym in English).
Aspartame: is another substitute for sugar that was also banned by the FDA. When exposed to elevated temperatures, it breaks down into methanol (alcohol) and phenylalanine, which are substances that destroy the optic nerve and can cause blindness.
Orthophosphoric acid: is a very acid component that can cause skin and eye irritation.
