Niraj Naik, a former British pharmacist, drew a picture, explaining in detail the changes of cola within 60 minutes after it entered the human body in seven steps, and posted this picture on his blog "The Rebellious Pharmacist".
From the time a person drinks a can of Coca-Cola, within 60 minutes, a series of reactions will occur in the human body, which Niraj Naik described very vividly:
10 minute: 10 spoon of sugar pours into your body (this is equivalent to 100% of the recommended daily intake). This dose should make you feel nauseous, but the phosphoric acid in the drink blocks this feeling.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar soars. In order to turn high blood sugar into fat, your pancreas will start to be busy and full of insulin production.
40 minutes: Caffeine is almost absorbed, your pupils begin to dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your liver pumps more sugar into your plasma. Adenosine receptors in your brain block your body's true feelings and make you feel tired.
45 minutes: The body releases more dopamine, which doubles your pleasure and increases your dependence on drinks. This nervous reaction of the body is similar to taking heroin.
60 minutes: high-dose sugar and artificial sweeteners accelerate the excretion of calcium in urine, and the diuretic effect of caffeine also appears at the same time. Phosphoric acid in the small intestine combines with calcium, magnesium and zinc to speed up your metabolism. Calcium, magnesium and zinc that can accumulate in bones will be lost from your body, as well as sodium, electrolyte and water. Your body excretes all the water in the carbonated drinks you drank before; At the same time, nutrients and minerals dissolved in water that were originally used to build your cells, bones and teeth are also discharged.
