What Happens When You Drink Cola

I really wanted to share this information with you all as I think most of us have tried cola at some point in time - quite scary.

10 minutes: 10+ teaspoons go into your system which is all you should have in a whole 24hr period. The phosphoric acid in the cola stops you tasting all that sugar.

20 minutes: Blood sugar goes wild, and your liver tries to maximise insulin production in so that it can turn the sugar into fat.

40 minutes: As the caffeine travels through you, your pupils dilate, blood pressure rises, and your liver tries to pump more sugar into your system.

45 minutes: Dopamine levels go up, tricking body into feeling good, hence why it's so addictive.
