    If you add rum to the coke it reverses the process - I think.

    I drink Coke and Diet Coke, and other sugar-filled fizzy drinks.

    That must be why I haven't lost any weight...


    ... oh, wait.

    I love that article because it's totally made up. Besides the fact that a can of Coke is relatively comparable sugar wise to a banana of even a big apple, and I suppose if we ignore the fact that you'd need to drink 24 cans of Coke to get enough caffeine for the diuretic effect to kick in, then maybe there might be a bit of truth in the article...

    I'm surprised the author didn't go into all the effects of the deadliest ingredient in Coke, the H2CO3. That stuff's fatal if you happen to inhale it...

    I wandered in here because generally any topics that are written in all caps are sure to be hilarious. Thanks for the early morning laugh.
    Mmmm, Coke.

    > 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism

    So you're saying I need to drink more coke?
    Oh yeah that too.
    Also interesting how apparently your liver turns all sugar drectly into fat, unless it's flooding your body with sugar for some reason.

    It's really too early for this
    It's never too early for a good laugh. But beware! Laughing releases dopamine, which also happens when you take heroin.

    Oh my god, so good! Could guzzle those all day! This is why I'm so disappointed that my job no longer requires trips to Mexico City... that and the frequent flyer miles... :grumble:

    All I really took out of that is "Coke raises your metabolism". I guess I need to drink more.

    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.

    This was my favorite. "Yeah, let's compare dopamine release to heroin, to illustrate how dangerous it is!"

    Of course your brain also releases dopamine any time you have a good workout, eat something tasty, have sex, etc. But they went right for heroin...wonder why?
    The author has obviously also given up tasty food and sex 'cause heroin...

    LOL Agreed

    Why would sugar make you vomit? Our bodies love sugar. That's why we crave it. You could eat 10 teaspoons of sugar on it's own and it wouldn't cause you to vomit. It's got nothing to do with phosphoric acid.

    I stopped reading after that part. That article doesn't deserve any more of my time.

    "Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? Because it gets you high. They removed the cocaine almost 100 years ago. Why? It was redundant.

    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."

    Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha

    I'd hate to think of what happens when I have whiskey and coke!

    ok well these are supported facts if you think its all scare monging blah blah then drink it to your hearts content I don't really care. The fact is coke and post mix syrups are so incredibly bad for you its a joke. Feel free to drink it but as far as somethings say post workout there a million other things that are better for you and the sugar levels in syrup, coke and energy drinks are off the charts. Like I said just pointing out to people who want to lose weight that water is your friend.

    For everyone mocking the article - I think there's fairly conclusive evidence that coke is linked to things like obesity.

    How long has Santa been trying to shift the extra LB's?

    Ok i didn't even bother going to the site as after seeing everyones posts it sounds like its not worth it. HOWEVER sodas/coke and all that crap is HORRIBLE for your body. All those chemicals some of which are not fit to even enter the body. Just because the FDA say its safe for human consumption doesn't mean that it is! You want to have a sweet drink then drink a passionfruit juice or prune juice. There are so many sweet alternatives.

    Peace

    Water is your friend because it has 0 calories. That's the only reason I stopped drinking soda. I'd rather eat my calories. And about sugar levels, don't bananas have about as much sugar? Should I stop eating bananas too?

    Thank you to those who have common sense enough to understand the implications of refined sugar on the body. yeah sure body loves sugar but not in doses so high that all it can is store it. Like I said drink it I dont care all I drink now is water. Fullstop. Ripped and happy, are you!

    I am not going to join in the mocking, but I will say that I drink coke and I can assure you I am not obese. I do however drink water more than anything else. I say it's about moderation. But, I do get what you are saying.
