What Happens When you Drink Coke

One of the best things I’ve ever done in my life was to cease all consumption of sugar drinks like Coke a year and a half ago. However I never realized how devastating sugared soda is to your entire system:
In The 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 flavor allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: 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)
