What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

A little fun with science from Healthbolt:

Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know 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.

I'm not a big cola/soda drinker, which is more luck than plan. But I'm sure sure bread has a similarly devastating effect on your body.
