Soda Pop

What Happens To Your Body Within An Hour Of Drinking A Coke:

With a title like that, who wouldn't want to read more? Although I knew the information would make me sick to my stomach, I was dying to know the truths... why is soda so unhealthy?

The main point from the article include...

• In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system.
• 20 minutes: blood sugar spikes, liver responds by turning sugar into fat.
•  40 minutes:  pupils dilate, blood pressure rises, livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
• 45 minutes:  ups dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. 
• >60 Minutes: It makes you have to pee, sugar crash, may become irritable and/or sluggish. 

The sequence of events that occurs within an hour is repulsive. This information needs to be exposed to more people and soda ingredients need to more strictly regulated. Coca Cola is probably one of the most commonly consumed beverages on a daily basis, yet is comparable to heroin. I think campaigns similar to the tobacco or alcohol abuse awareness should be created to alert people of the health risks.
