What happens to the body when drinking carbonated soft drinks
Drinking a can of soda can make you feel drunk, have to pee and feel a little dizzy.
The essential flavoring ingredient in soft drinks, fast food, and processed foods is corn syrup. Corn syrup contains a large amount of fructose, which is metabolized only in the liver. This is very similar to the process of converting ethanol in alcohol. Carbonated soft drinks are one of the main causes of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay.
Niraj Naik, a pharmacist at Renegade Pharmacy, USA, conducted a small experiment to examine the effects of sugary drinks on human health within one hour of drinking, as follows:
First 10 minutes
About 35 grams of sugar taken in will make your body drunk, making you immediately nauseous because it is too sweet. However, a flavoring called phosphoric acid will prevent this feeling.

The large amount of fructose in soft drinks when entering the body will cause the liver's metabolism to overload, damaging the liver and starting to convert sugar into fat that is harmful to the body.
40 minutes later
Your body has absorbed enough caffeine from the soda. Your pupils begin to dilate and you feel more alert again. Your blood pressure will increase because your liver is working very quickly to absorb sugar and metabolize it. In addition, the amount of caffeine consumed will inhibit the nervous system and make the body not feel sleepy.

The body begins to produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that produces “pleasure” spikes. The National Center for Biotechnology Information shares that caffeine has similar effects and works in a similar way to heroin. This will make you addicted to drinking soda.

Phosphoric acid starts binding with calcium, magnesium and zinc in the intestines, speeding up metabolism. This sounds good, but it’s actually overdoing it. High sugar and artificial additives leach calcium out of the body, weakening bones.
After removing calcium, magnesium, zinc and other substances necessary for human bones, caffeine will make the body urinate. Next, the drinker will suffer from a lack of sodium, electrolytes and water.
After an hour, the body returns to a state of lethargy and fatigue. The dry throat begins to reappear and this is the final warning sign of dehydration. This is extremely dangerous for children and the elderly.
Dr. Kanne Tucker, who led another study at Tufts University, asserted that drinking one can of soda a day is harmful to health.
Experts recommend limiting your consumption of carbonated soft drinks if you don't want to become addicted to them. When your body needs sugar, you should choose to drink fresh lemon juice, green tea... with a low sugar content to satisfy your cravings and be good for your health.
