when coke and cell collide

I bet everyone enjoy coke every now and then. I'm definitely one of them. Just finished few glasses of coke during lunch-hour's birthday party and now few hours post party, I accidentally read about coke affects on our bodies here and the truth prevails. 

memang tempting ler dengan ice cenggini

Actually before this pun I betcha heard lots of hanky panky issues about coke, but who really cares right? Nahh..here is what happens to your body for a full 60 minutes after you have consumed a can of Coca Cola

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavour 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)

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

45 minutes : Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centres of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

60 minutes : 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.

>60 Minutes : The caffeine’s 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 were 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, pee’d 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.

After 3 hours consuming coke, I feel damn dizzy, bloated and super malas now. Though that malas part is irrelevant, lets blame it on coke anyway!!
