What happens to your body when you drink coke?
Soda has a pretty bad reputation. It's been blamed for the obesity epidemic, not to mention a number of health problems. So do your ever wonder what happens to your body when your drink a can of coke? Weight-loss motivator Julia Havey has the answer. Did you know, for instance, that a can of coke has about 10 tablespoons of sugar? Can you imagine eating 10 spoonfuls of sugar in one sitting? yech! The sugar in coke, when it can't be used by your body, is converted in to fat, and the caffeine that gives you that rush also depletes your body of important nutrients like calcium. Also, coke increases your dopamine production, just like another controversial substance: heroine. You'll experience a major sugar rush, followed by a major crash about an hour later. Yikes.If you're a soda drinker, this might make you consider quitting. If I drank soda, it would sure give me something to think about!

I'm not sure how controversial heroines are; we are in the post-feminist age after all. I think you mean heroin (no e).

I always drink diet soda. Everyone always tells me how bad soft drinks are for me. I'm always arguing that I only drink diet. I wish these article headlines would specify regular or diet Coke/Pepsi, because some people only read headlines.
