I know it tastes great, I also know we’re addicted to it but do we know what it’s doing to us? What happens 20 minutes after drinking a can of cola harms your body the most!!
Infographic reveals the effects the fizzy drink has in just an hour… from a 20-minute blood sugar spike to the ‘crash’.

20 Minutes: Blood sugar spikes
40 Minutes: The caffine hit
45 Minutes: Dopamine production
60 Minutes: Boost the metabolism but soon after 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, urinated the water that was in the Coke.
