Will Drinking Coke Or Other Types Of Soda Destroy Your Health?

The other day we found a great article on the health effects of drinking Coke.

Did you realize that Coca-Cola is over 10 percent pure sugar?

Did you realize that a Harvard study has shown that a single can of coke per day will cause you to gain 15 pounds of body weight every year?

The truth is that Coke turns your body into a complete and total mess.

Just check out what the Healthbolt blog has to say about the effects of drinking just one Coke:

-In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.

-20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)

-40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.

-45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

->60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.

->60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.

->60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

-This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

10 Pictures Of Cats That Look Like Sarah Palin

Who in the world would be demented enough to look for pictures of cats that look like Sarah Palin?

The Weird News Blog! That's who!

Posted below are ten pictures of cats that bear a striking resemblance to the Republican nominee for vice president.

Hopefully people from both parties will get a good laugh out of this.

"Do you know what the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick."

"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities."

"Our opponents say again and again that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems, as if we didn't know that already."

"Here's a little newsflash for those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this great country."

"I might add that, in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they're listening and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."

"No, we tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco."

"But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the State Senate."

"This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word "victory," except when he's talking about his own campaign."

"But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot..."

"My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery."
