We’ve seen what happens when you put Mentos in a Coke bottle.

We are aware that boiling your iPhone 6 in a saucepan of the drink is not a great idea. (Thanks, Internet.)

We know that Coca Cola is definitely not good for you teeth.

But what does it do to the rest of your body?

A pharmacist recently revealed the actual, real-time effects of Coca Cola and other caffeinated, sugar-filled fizzy drinks.

And it doesn’t sound too good.

Concerned with the drink’s high sugar content, Niraj Naik detailed the step-by-step process your body undergoes after drinking a can of Coke:

Naik has used Coke as an example of the dangers of fructose — a type of sugar.

“[Fructose] confuses the liver and ends up making lots of bad fats in the process.  It also doesn’t signal your brain that you are full,” Naik wrote.

He argues that fructose contributes to weight gain — and is a vital enemy of weight loss.

Furthermore, Naik believes the refined salt and caffeine in Cola can lead to “high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity.”

All that said, Naik says that drinking a small amount of Coke everyday won’t do you any harm – “The key is moderation!”
