1. In the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar enters in to your body, which is 100% of your daily-recommended intake. Instead of vomiting, phosphoric acid helps keep the sugar in your system.
2. After about 20 minutes, your blood sugar hits the roof and your body cannot produce enough insulin to bring your blood sugar down so your liver has to help out and responds by changing the sugar into fat.
3. After about 40 min you feel awake and amazing! This is when the caffeine has kicked in and your body has by now produced a lot of dopamine, which is the “happy hormone” and gives us the same satisfactory feeling as heroine or other drugs.
4. 60 min later you feel like you have to pee and then after that comes the crash – you feel tired and want even more sugar to get back on top. It’s a vicious downward cycle.

I gave up soda a few months ago and I don’t regret it for a minute.

This is exactly why I haven’t had soda in a long long time. The only time I will have any kind of soda is if there is alcohol in it.

This is gross!  I used to have a major Diet Coke addiction in college.  I lived in a sorority house (don’t judge me!) and we had an unlimited soda fountain in the kitchen, like the kind they have at pizza places.  I remember waking up hungover and jonesing for a DC instead of water.  I didn’t realize this was a problem until I came home for the summer and my dentist found 11 cavities in my mouth.  11!  I had to have them filled in fucking installments throughout the summer.  And that marked the end of my addiction.

I love Coca-Cola, and drink a bottle probably every other day or so. When I went to the dentist a month or two ago, it was the first time I had gone in about 3 years. Even then, when I did go 3 years ago, the dentist said I had one cavity to fill. And then I didn’t get it filled.

So when I went to the dentist two months ago, first thing she says to me is, “You drink alot of coffee, don’t you?” I reply, “Coke, actually.” She tells me that I have only one cavity - and that one cavity is the one I had three years ago.

So I guess my point is that, at least for me, coke and cavities do not necessarily go together.

I love coke.
