Average American: Now lookee here missy! My grandpappy dun tell me that coca cola was 'merica's national drink. You effete Europeans soon to be overrun by muslims dun know wit yer flappin' yer gums about. When somebody drinks a Coke watch what happens… 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) 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 centers 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 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. So there you have it, an avalanche of destruction in a single can. Imagine drinking this day after day, week after week. Stick to water, real juice from fresh squeezed fruit, and tea without sweetener. Primary Source: by Wade Meredith |

My brother-in-law drinks this by the gallon each and every week. He wonders why his teeth and ankles are crumbling!

Irn Bru is the workers blood here in Scotland. It gives them a near constant sugar-buzz which gives them short-term energy for work and temporarily banishes fatigue. My BiL says that his master lets people go out during work hours to buy this stuff. The masters know that these hyper-sugary drinks keep the workers spiked and docile. |

You'd be surprised just how easy it is to get through 2 litres of 'ginger' is. Keep the bottle close at hand, and glug every 10 minutes or so and voila 2 litres is soon got through. |

I love coca cola. I love sugar. I feel better when I drink sugar. Caffeine helps my headaches go away. Coke is good! |

Omg omg, LB! My local supermarket has an aisle dedicated to foreign door brands and I was looking at all the weird and wonderful things the other day and I saw Irn Bru!!! It was a big orangey brown fizzy drink. I told Rolfe that you said it's a working class drink. Is it pronounced "iron brew"? There were also heaps of British and American lollies and biscuits and snacks. It's all so foreign and even the packaging is weird... It's like old-fashioned. The British stuff is anyway. There was a small European section which had this delicious-looking packaged slab of pumpernickel bread from I think it was Sweden or somewhere like that. It was half the size of a brick and was really dark brown and dense... I want to try it toasted with peanut butter. |
