What happens to your body within an hour of drinking a high sugar drink

The Q'ld government is concerned about the amount of sugar in both soft drinks & juices. So today let's look at what happens to your body within an hour of drinking a Coke Cola -
Within the first 10 mins- 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system; the phosphoric acid cuts the flavour & over time causes calcium to leach out of your bones.
Within 20 mins- your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.
Within 40 mins- caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.
Around 45 mins- your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centres of your brain- a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.

After 60 mins- you'll start to have a sugar crash. (Nutrition Research Centre; Oct 24th, 2007)

A 'safer' option would be to grab a piece of fruit e.g the natural sugar in an orange is absorbed into your system in 10 mins & can give you up to 3hrs. energy! With no sugar crashes. For 'slowly released' energy eat a banana or pear.
