Why no red label on brain damaging products like Coke and Pepsi
Drinking Coca-Cola or Pepsi: This is what happens to the body:
— In the first 10 minutes: about 10 teaspoons of sugar (the maximum recommended daily dose) are taken into the body. At this point, you won't feel sick from excess sugar because phosphoric acid dulls the excessive sweetness, allowing the sugar to be absorbed.
— After 20 minutes: blood sugar increases, which leads to the release of insulin. The liver responds by converting sugar into fat.
— After 40 minutes: caffeine absorption is complete. Pupils dilate, blood pressure rises, and the liver begins to release more sugar into the bloodstream. Adenosine receptors in the brain are blocked, thus preventing drowsiness.
— After 45 minutes: the production of dopamine, a hormone that stimulates the pleasure center of the brain, increases. Heroin works on the same principle.
— After an hour: phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the intestines, increasing metabolism. Increases the excretion of calcium in the urine.
— More than an hour later: the diuretic effect of caffeine takes effect, and you need to go to the toilet. Calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are so necessary for bones, are excreted, as well as sodium, electrolyte, and water. You become irritable or lethargic.
— So much harm in one can... Just imagine what will happen if you drink cola every day.
— It is better to drink water, natural, freshly squeezed juices and sugar-free tea. more
