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.
When having a cold bottle of Coke and enjoying its
undeniable freshness are we aware of what chemical “cocktail” we are putting
into our bodies? The active ingredient in Coca-Cola is orthophosphoric acid.
Due to its high acidity, cisterns used for transporting the chemical have to be
equipped with special reservoirs designed for highly corrosive materials.
Let’s have a look at “the anatomy” of one of the
most advertised products of “Coca-Cola Co.” – Coca-Cola Light without caffeine.
This drink contains Aqua Carbonated, E150D, E952, E951, E338, E330, Aromas,
E211.
Aqua Carbonated – this is sparkling water. It stirs gastric
secretion, increases the acidity of the gastric juice and provokes flatulency.
Filtered tap water is what is primarily used.
E150D – this is food coloring obtained through the
processing of sugar at specified temperatures, with or without addition of
chemical reagents. In the case of coca-cola, ammonium sulfate is added.
E952 – Sodium Cyclamate is a sugar substitute.
Cyclamate is a synthetic chemical, has a sweet taste, which is 200 times
sweeter than sugar, and is used as an artificial sweetener. In 1969 it was
banned by FDA, since it, as well as saccharin and aspartame, caused cancer in
rats.
E950 – Acesulfame Potassium. 200 times sweeter than
sugar, containing methyl-ether. It aggravates the operation of the
cardiovascular system. Likewise, it contains asparaginic acid which can also
cause an excitant effect on our nervous system and in time it can lead to
addiction. Acesulfame is badly dissolved and is not recommended for use by
children and pregnant women.
E951 – Aspartame. A sugar substitute for diabetics and
is chemically unstable at elevated temperatures it breaks down into methanol
and phenylalanine. Methanol is very dangerous as only 5-10ml can cause
destruction of the optic nerve and irreversible blindness. In warm soft drinks,
aspartame transforms into formaldehyde which is a very strong carcinogen.
Symptoms of aspartame poisoning include: unconsciousness, headaches, fatigue,
dizziness, nausea, palpitation, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, memory
loss, blurry vision, fainting, joint pains, depression, infertility, hearing
loss and more. Aspartame can also provoke the following diseases: brain tumors,
MS (Multiple Sclerosis), epilepsy, Graves’ disease, chronic fatigue,
Alzheimer’s, diabetes, mental deficiency and tuberculosis. Later, this
substance was initially illegal due to its dangers but was again made legal in
a suspicious manner.
E338 – Orthophosphoric Acid. This can cause irritation
of the skin and eyes. It is used for production of phosphoric acid salts of
ammonia, sodium, calcium, aluminum and also in organic synthesis for the
production of charcoal and film tapes. It is also used in the production of
refractory materials, ceramics, glass, fertilizers, synthetic detergents,
medicine, metalworking, as well as in the textile and oil industries. It is
known that orthophosphoric acid interferes with the absorption of calcium and
iron into the body which can cause weakening of bones and osteoporosis. Other
side effects are thirst and skin rashes.
E330 – Citric Acid. It is widely used in pharmaceutical
and food industries. Salts of citric acid (citrates) are used in the food
industry as acids, preservatives, stabilizers, and in the medical fields – for
preserving blood.
Aromas – unknown aromatic additives
E211 – Sodium Benzoate. It is used in production of
some food products for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal purposes. It is often
found in jams, fruit juices and fruit yogurts. It’s not recommended for use by
asthmatics and people who are sensitive to aspirin. A study conducted by Peter
Piper at the Sheffield University in Britain, found that this compound causes
significant damage to DNA. According to Peter, sodium benzoate which is an
active component in preservatives, doesn’t destroy DNA, but deactivates it.
This can lead to cirrhosis and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease.
So, if you can’t imagine a life without coca-cola,
take advantage of the following recommendations:
- Many distributors of coca-cola in U.S use this
drink for cleaning their truck engines.
- Many police officers in U.S have bottles of
coca-cola in their cars and when a car accident happens, they wash the blood
off of the road with it.
- Coca-Cola is a great tool for removing rusty
stains on chrome surfaces of cars. To remove corrosion from a car battery, pour
Coke on it and the corrosion will disappear.
- To unscrew a rusty screw, dip a cloth in
Coca-Cola and wrap around the screw for several minutes.
- To clean stains from clothes – pour Coca-Cola on
the dirty clothing, add washing detergent and run the washing machine as usual.
You will be surprised at the results.
- In India, some farmers use Coca-Cola instead of
pesticides for pest extermination because it’s cheaper and the effect is very
similar.
Coca-Cola is undeniably a very useful product. The
key is to use it for purposes that do not include drinking! Here is a video
about Coca-Cola!
