The Hidden Costs of Coke: Why Your Hair Deserves Better

Intro to The Hidden Costs of Coke: Why Your Hair Deserves Better

Who doesn’t love Coca-Cola? Admit it—you’ve enjoyed it at least once in your lifetime. It’s reigned supreme for over 100 years, captivating taste buds and showing no signs of slowing down. In Britain, it happens to be the nation’s favorite drink. The refreshing, bubbly sweetness of a cold Coke on a hot day can be irresistible. It’s a part of pop culture, celebrated in advertisements, movies, and even music. Many of us have fond memories of sharing a Coke with friends and family.

However, there’s a side to Coca-Cola that isn’t as widely celebrated or talked about. While the immediate gratification of cracking open a can is undeniable, have you ever wondered what it does to your body? Is it the best thing for your health? The answer is a resounding no. Behind that familiar red label lies a concoction that can have surprising and potentially harmful effects on your body.

The Health Impact of Coca-Cola

Thanks to British pharmacist Niraj Naik and health writer Wade Meredith, let’s explore what happens in our bodies in the hour following a can of Coke.

The First Sip: Your mouth experiences intense sweetness from the high sugar content. Phosphoric acid in Coke dulls the sweetness, making it palatable despite its high sugar level. But acid in your drink? Hmm…
Twenty Minutes Later: The sugar spike causes a rise in glucose in your bloodstream, prompting your body to produce insulin. Your liver then turns this insulin into fat stored in your body. Fat storage? Hmm…
The Caffeine Kick: Around 40 minutes in, your body absorbs the caffeine, causing your pupils to dilate, blood pressure to rise, and blocking adenosine receptors in your brain. This blockage prevents you from feeling tired. But increased blood pressure? Hmm…
Dopamine Surge: After another 5 minutes, dopamine production in your brain increases, controlling your pleasure and reward centers. This stimulation is comparable to heroin, making you crave another can. Comparable to heroin? Hmm…
The Sugar Crash: At the one-hour mark, a sugar crash begins, causing irritability and drowsiness. Only an hour of goodness? Hmm…

Long-Term Effects

Research suggests prolonged Coke consumption has more severe consequences. A 2018 literature review indicated increased levels of certain chemicals in the body that interfere with brain activity, raising the risk of strokes and dementia. Hmm…

Switching to Diet Coke? Not so fast. A 2018 study involving 2,019 participants couldn’t rule out Diet Coke as a cause of diabetes. Another study with rodents showed decreased kidney and liver function. Hmm…

Is it worth it? That’s for you to decide.
