What happens to your body when you drink Coca Cola?

This part of the blog is from www.mercola.com…see below for my sugar alternative!   Do you want to be healthy? Drinking soda is bad for your health in oh so many ways; even science can’t state all the consequences. Here is what happens inside of your body when you assault it with coke!   10 minutes 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100% of your recommended daily intake in one quick hit, and the only reason you don’t vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because of the Phosphoric Acid, which cuts the flavour. 20 […]
