I liked to drink a Coke every day but a couple yeas ago quit altogether with no effect of coca cola avoidance at all. You may have heard that if you drink one can of Coke everyday and you take that out of your diet then you will lose one pound of fat per week which works out to 50 pounds of fat lost in a year.

Healthbolt had the following info about the effect of coca cola and what happens to you when you drink a can of coke.

Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.

Effect of Coca Cola On Your Body

effect of coca colaIn 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: First effect of coca cola on your body. 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. (Theres plenty of that at this particular moment)

40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, 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.

Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This effect of coca cola is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

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.

The effect of coca cola caffeine 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.

>60 minutes: 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 even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

The effect of Coca Cola After the rush

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

Yuck, this is not a nice message on what happens to your body as the can of coke goes through it but it is interesting. Now that we know the effect of coca cola maybe we should see the effect of chocolate next.

In researching some more I have found a few more great articles on the effects of Coca Cola. Livestrong talks about Sperm counts and the effect on stomach acid. Also this great youtube video about the disgusting effects of Coca Cola

  1. I absolutely love coke and have not had side effects from drinking it. However, I do think it should be in moderation because of all the sugar in it and we know what that can do to us & that it’s not good for us.

  2. somebody help me. the killer juice has taken root of my life. How do i stop taking this drug in a disguise . Please advise me before this drug shows me the gate of heaven prematurely. But to be frank i cant do without it.

    1. I just stopped drinking soda in Dec. I was determined to put it down and every time I craved it, I grabbed a fruit that I enjoy and a bottle of water, or I would do something else. After the 2nd or 3rd week I stopped craving it, and I had lost about 5 pounds! You just have to be determined and find ways to meet your sugar craving through other ways! I hope that you are able to let it go soon.

    2. I am a Doctor with a PHD in Chemistry and Biology and I have researched plenty of methods in order to stop this. Just stop buying soda, and after that you will have no soda to drink, which will equate to drinking another substance.

      1. i think if you quit drinking to soda and move on to something else then it will cause you to be addicted to something else that could be even deadlier

  3. well everybody has their opinion and is entitle 2 their own opinion….You cant tripp out jus cuz u dont like wat they are sayin…personally speaking….am addicted 2 coca cola…i soooooo want 2 stop…n i did 4 a mth n went back 2 drinking it again…i noticed my stomach getting all bloated…am not fat n it luks funny cuz i luk like am like 5mths pregnant….my goal is 2 stop drinking coke…n i know n have faith in God dat i will stop 4 gud….God bless 🙂

    1. someone mentioned a bloated stomach i would say a bloated body i was so addicted 2 coke but the lord has delivered me now i know i’m getting healtier by the day

  4. yikes! Time to put the soda down! hah i recently just started drinking it again.

    I was always a water person and I know that it can make you gain serious . truth be told, when i had my first coke, i thought it was disgusting. that was back in the late 90’s.

    i only kept drinking it because everyone else seemed to like it. same thing with alcohol. the first time you taste it, you think “ew!” but you keep drinking it because everyone else does and it gives you a rush.

    I stopped drinking coca cola and other caffeinated sodas for a few years. i lost and i had SO much more energy! I started running, and now i look great!

    my mom buys coca cola for my stepdad. he’s tubby. she didnt buy any waterbottles (I refuse tap) so i had nothing else to drink and I thought, “just one.” but now ive had enough.
    Bye-bye, evil juice!

  5. l dont believe any of that coca cola shit, been drinking for coke for along time n am healthy like a horse.
    Sayin its bad wuldnt change anything, after all ppl take intoxicants n drugs. All that CHEMICAL reaction in the body after a coke dont bug me.

    1. My brother drank coke everyday for as long as I can remember, then he started getting weak, and his pancreas died, almost killing him. He will now have to inject himself with insulin everyday for the rest of his life, and he was a 25 year old, 6’4 healthy as all hell basketball player with no problems.

      Now you tell me again why you SHOULD keep drinking coke.

      I’m sure one every couple of weeks don’t hurt, but look what it did to a perfectly healthy man with daily use.

  6. I’m well informed that Coca-Cola is something that could easily ruin your body and your LIFE
    Just BY saying that drink is ‘BAD” in Caps-Lock wont change anything.

    My bad. Sorry for mistakes.

  7. I’m well informed that Coca-Cola is something that could easily ruin your body and your, but you know what? Yes i’m addicted, i enjoy this sugary drink and i actually dont give much shit about my life. It’s already ruined very badly. I’m even thinking about suicides every couple times a day. But hey, its just me. I’m not saying that everyone thinks like that, but still i’m well aware that most of Cola consumers know what kind of stuff is it. Just buy saying that drink is ‘BAD” in Caps-Lock wont change anything.

    1. WOW Just me. I hope that your not serious. Suicide, holy shit. My recomendation would be screw the coke, focus on the BIG problem and work on that. And for all of us that read that please dont do anything bad and get help now.

    2. Believe it or not, im in the Exact boat as you, i know how shit is is for me but i just try my best to ruin my body. I can’t stand life and i guess the caffeine sorta settles everything for me. 3 litres of coke a week is not good and its not getting any better but as most addicts say, i really don’t give of f**k.

  8. lol at the people defending coke and claiming that they are fit and healthy (mason benching your own body isn’t amazing).
    Sugar consumption (Especially Sucrose) should be as low as possible, you get plenty from everything else you eat and the laziness results from your body dealing with the side effects, however until you kick your addiction to sugar you will never notice how bad they actually are.
    Once you can taste the sweetness of broccoli you know you are no longer addicted

    1. Well, think of this epiphany. Maybe the people who aren’t affected by coke are actually NOT affected by coke. A wondrous idea. But perhaps the reason for this is that coke is not as bad as everyone says it is. But every body is different. The point is that coke may not be as bad as everyone says but under certain conditions, it can be.
      Too much of anything is not good. So saying coke specifically doesn’t mean anything.

  9. i always thought coke was bad for you, but i couldn’t convince my friend of that. she totally changed after a few months of drinking coke, she skipped out of are daily runs and had less devotion towards everything. maybe it wasn’t the coke, then again she became her self again after she stopped drinking it. in my opinion, its foolish to get addicted to a unhealthy drink just because it taste good. but go ahead it;s your choice not mine…..

  10. Coka COLA IS NOT GOOD even some of the black soda has a lot of side efects anyway i just stand for 7up,sprite and natural jus and surely fresh water

  11. Yeah Coke has really bad effects on our body…….i’v seen my frns experiencing serious health problems…. both usd to have Litrezzz a day……. one’s been suffering from ulcer and the other with heart palpitation……………………………………NOw its up to you whether you Still LOVE COKE or love YOURSELF.!!
    Come out with some alternatives,, m also in search for.. ovcrse, those who’r addicted can’t suddenly stop taking off,, but atleast TRY lessen it gradually. Have some Will n you can DO it.!

  12. looooooooooool we love so much coca cola but we mast reduce it because it is so dangerous on our body it have a lot of chemical reaction on our buddy i prove it and nw i have cancer WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT COCA COLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. i think im addicted to coke and i must admit it gets me irratable when i want a bottle or can etc i cant drink diet coke i have to have coke and i can also taste the difference bettween them both

  14. All I can speak of is my personal experience with coca cola. What can I say, I love it – however I do believe everything should be in moderation.
    There was a stage that I was drinking about 500ml – 1 Litre a day with very little water or anything else inbetween.
    I am not over, infact I have had the opposite problem. Under and lack of energy. I decided to quit coke. For three days I experienced craving, muscle cramps, moodiness and irritability. My energy since them increased dramatically, I now want to exercise. My appears more balanced. My hair looks fantastic again. (After 3 months of quitting coke). Please note…this was 3 years ago. Well…I eventually decided to start drinking coke again…of course..its incredibly good. Been drinking it again daily for about 2 years. The past year I’ve had that lethargic feeling again. Stopped exercising etc. Last week I came down with a very bad bout of food poisoning. This forced me to stop drinking coke again. As of 2 days ago I’ve been eating normally but been sticking to mineral water. That lethargic feeling I had for the past year is gone….I want to get out there and do sports. I feel more awake than usual. I’m more productive at work.
    Basically, my own personal experience indicates that coke is not good for my system. I cannot comment on behalf of other people. When i was in my teens and early twenties it didn’t affect me as badly but definitely getting older (I’m now 30) I seem to feel it more. I dont think there is anything wrong with having a glass here and there but it cannot be good for us in large quantities on a daily basis.

    1. Carla, what happened with our hair? I have a friend, he’s addicted to coke and drunk about 1l every single day. He started to drink it with large amount 8 years ago. After that, his hair turned to white, white hair captured larger propotion than black hair. So terrible with him now, a young man but with pepper colour hairs. I wonder whether coca cola is the cause or other factors

  15. Coca cola may be bad for you, but, there is no such thing as a sugar crash!!!! This article was written by Pepsi or Doctor Pepper!!! I’m a 16 year old girl , but I’m a medical student!!!! I know my stuff!!! Oh, and if you drink 17L in 5 hours, well, sweat heart, god’s got your spot marked for your grave!!!

    1. Lol I’m sorry to inform you but there is a thing called a sugar crash. Look at kids that eat to much candy/chocolate, After a couple hours of energy they crash from it. Ask any person that is in a medical career and they will tell you that there is. It’s not hard to see it… After you have a couple cans of coke and a couple hours have past.. How do you feel? Happy, Energetic.. maybe a little.. but you do feel down.. your body has spent all of the energy that the sugar in the coke had and is now searching for more.. And failing to do so. All the chemicals in your brain that made you feel happier are gone now… so you crash. Lol not rocket science 😛

  16. LMAO! tried the miloke before, and OMG it tastes awkward man! mind u it IS an alternative for addicts lol

  17. TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD JUST POUR HALF A PINT OF COKE INTO A PINT GLASS AND THEN TOP IT UP WITH MILK

    A TASTY ALTERNATIVE

    I CALL IT MILOKE

    MMMM
