First 10 minutes
- 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.)
- You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavour, allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes in
- Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst.
- Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
40 minutes in
- Caffeine absorption is complete.
- Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.
- The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes in
- Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centres of your brain.
- This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
60 minutes in
- The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism.
- This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
After 60 minutes
- The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.)
- It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
- As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash.
- You may become irritable and/or sluggish.
- You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke.
- But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.
