Viral Info-Graphic Claims to Show Coca-Cola's Effects on the Body



Have you ever thought about what exactly happens to your body after drinking a can of your favorite soda?

An infographic by The Renegade Pharmacist has surfaced that breaks down exactly what happens while you're drinking a can of Coke. It vividly describes every bodily response that occurs from the first sip, right through to 60 minutes after drinking the entire can.

Here's what happens to your body every 10 minutes as you're consuming the 'good' ol' fizzy stuff:



The key take away from this is that as you consume soda and it goes through your body, essential vitamins and minerals expel from your body. Aside from the effects soda causes internally, dark carbonated drinks also increase the likelihood of staining your teeth. While having just one can give you that momentary 'boost' you need, the amount of sugar a soda can contains is also well over your recommended daily intake.

So the next time you're thinking about grabbing a cold one, just remember that in the amount of time it takes you to finish the can, you're causing a lot more long-term damage than you think.

Take a look at the infographic and tell us what you think:
