COCA-COLA
Coke is the most valuable brand in history, and “Coca-Cola” is the
world’s second-most recognized word after “hello.”
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Rj2oMEYFo (coke & the body)
• Coke is very close to the acidity level of battery acid and
consequently it can clean surfaces equivalent to and often better
than many toxic household cleaners.
• It’s cheaper and easier to buy Coke in some third world countries
than it is to access clean water.
• People who consume soft drinks such as Coke have a 48%
increase in heart attack and stroke risk, compared to people who
did not drink the sodas at all or did not drink them every day.
• A study published in the journal Respirology reveals that soft drink
consumption is also associated with lung and breathing
disorders including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD).

COKE & THE BODY
After 10 minutes: The sugar contained in a glass of Cola can cause a devastating
“strike” on the body. The cause being the phosphoric acid which inhibits the action
of sugar.
After 20 minutes: A leap in insulin levels in bloodstream occurs.
After 40 minutes: Ingestion of caffeine is finally completed. The eye’s pupils are
expanding. Blood pressure rises because the liver disposes more sugar into the
bloodstream. The adenosine receptors become blocked thereby preventing
drowsiness.
After 45 minutes: The body raises production of the dopamine hormone, which
stimulates the brain pleasure center. Similar to the reaction Heroin creates.
After 1 hour: Phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the
gastrointestinal tract, which supercharges metabolism. The release of calcium
through urine takes place.
After more than 1 hour: Diuretic effects of the drink enters in “the game”. The
calcium, magnesium and zinc are removed out of the body, which are a part of our
bones, as well as sodium. At this time we can become irritable or subdued. The
whole quantity of water, contained in a coca cola, is removed through urination.
