Effects of Coca Cola on your body...

In the first 10 minutes:
10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.)

Within 20 minutes:
Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst from your pancreas. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat.

Within 40 minutes:
Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your BP rises, and your liver 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 Coke is physically the same way heroin works.

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 Coke's caffeine diuretic properties comes into play - you have to urinate. It is now assured that you'll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water.

Within 60 minutes:
As the "high" inside of you dies down, you'll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You've literally urinated all the water that was in the Coke, but not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for nourishing your system or building strong bones and teeth, etc.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. That could be a shorter time frame if you're a smoker. But, there's a way you can make yourself feel better.

You can alaways have another Coke!
