my name peter vitalis .unn student.......i will forfit my admision if any body cn mec ten tea spoon of suger disolve in a bottle of 35cl......d solublty of sugar is not dat much

zynzyn: Good Good Post! I like coke 2 much partly because it is affordable. Though I dilute it with water often

What's the difference

coke indeed

When anything is consumed in excess for a prolonged period, it is bound to have side effects. The key message here is NOT avoidance, but rather, it should be moderation. It is not how long a man lives that matters, what truly matters is the impact of the life a man has lived on others.

I smoke, I drink alcohol and I sleep around. Moderation and knowing your limits is the key.

YOLO- You Only Live Once.

Gabriel_sylar: Bloody lies my kid brother drinks coke like anything and he his so slim

Diabetes is waiting for him

Quite educative Op. I'm working on my coke intake . I think the last time I took it was a month ago or so. My target which I've met is at most 2 bottles a month.

Not afraid, only takes a bottle of coke once in every six months!

Lmao noo but now I'm gonna try it

druid06: Is it just me but does anyone else adds a little salt to 7up to get that bitter-sweet taste?

iamdsam: What's the difference

Same thing, no difference!

I think this article on soft drink is highly relevant:

EFFECT OF GLUCOSE
CONTENTS OF
SELECTED SOFT
DRINKS ON PLASMA
GLUCOSE LEVEL OF
ADOLESCENT HEALTHY
NIGERIAN SUBJECTS

Abstract
Soft drink is a
carbonated water,
flavoured and
sweetened with either
sugar or sweetener.
The resulting glucose
solution in the human
body is the key source
of energy. Positive
associations between
soft drinks
consumption and
incidence of diabetes
have been postulated.
Thus, it is the aim of
this study to show the
effects of casual soft
drinks consumption on
glucose level of healthy
Nigerian individuals in
fasting and 2 hours
post-prandial. A total of
350 apparently healthy
individuals were
recruited for this study.
115 subjects (Group A)
were given a bottle of
Coca-Cola (Coke) each,
another 115 (Group B)
subjects were given a
bottle of Bitter Lemon
(Krest) each while the
remaining 120 subjects
(Group C) were given
75g of D-glucose in
300mL of distilled
water. Glucose
tolerance test (GTT)
was performed on all
the subjects and the
curve of glucose
concentration plotted
against time of sample
collection. GTT graph of
group A and B shows a
flat curve of enhanced
GTT while group C
shows a normal GTT
response graph. The
result however,
indicates that casual
consumption of soft
drinks did not
predispose to
development of
diabetes as it has no
significant effect on
plasma glucose and
renal threshold
concentration of
apparently healthy
individuals.

The poster of this info forgot that an African man is not an ordinary human being.A black man can drink 5 bottles of coke daily for 20years and nothing will happen to him or his health.Black man has so much immunes in their bodies that defies any scientific research or findings. So broz pack well,enjoy ur life while it last don't put urself under undue yoke of any long-pointed-nose scientists who tells u not to eat this or that.

I quickly raise a glass of coke in healthy cheers to Seun Osenwa and all d Nairalanders.

I really do wanna know. What happens when I drink 1 big bottle of guiness extra stout? I'm on my 2nd bottle now tho.

hmmmm quite educative.nice post

I KNOW I KNOW
IF IT WONT KILL ME THEN IM ALL 4 IT
HECK EVEN IF IT KILLS ME THEN SO BE IT
A NIGGA'S GONNA DIE ANYWAY

Dietary intake aren't usually a direct cause of illness. Most of the time, they cause a BUILD UP. In this case, taking so much sugar for a long time increases the adipose tissue(fat)..the blood takes in so much and the vessels become atherosclerotic (walls become lined with fat). They could clog the vessels or a part of it may break off(embolus) and travel through the blood stream.

along the cause of travelling, they may clog tinier blood vessels like those of the brain, leading to stroke

or those of the heart, causing Myocardial infarction ----> heart attack

etc

Many people are satisfied with keeping to their lifestyles as they don't see an immediate health risk.

But prevention is ALWAYS safer, less expensive and definitely better than cure.

Please are you a medical student?

imperiouxx: 1) 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.

2) 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. (And there’s plenty of that at this particular moment)

@OP...how is the bolded possible....sugar is stored primarly in the liver and kidney as glycogen...
the only way i see what you wrote happening is when pyruvate or PPP intermediate are converted to acetyl coA and then used for fatty acid synthesis.
my point here is that your excess sugar must first go to your muscles and liver.

Thank God for my life,I only drink Pepsi.

Coke demand is high in the market y d confusion and contradition.please stop the agitation. I need a glass of chill coke pls.

eddiebruk: Every country has got their own recipe for the Coca Cola and quantity of its composition but her basic Chemicals are

H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid)
C6H12O6 (Fructose)
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
C8H10N4O2 (Caffeine)

So this your Analysis is disturbing to the ordinary man, because if what you just copy pasted on here is what it really is, then half of the world should have been wiped out by now considering the high demand for their products. you should be talking about the composition of other strong drinks that has fast negative effect on the body system and not coke.

Do you care to know what warning is given in hospitals against drinking soda in Nigeria? In the US, majority of obesity, diabetes and hypertension are associated with soda. People who live healthy don't even take it or have stopped taking it here.

akino:

Hello, Before you post anything here always verify it.Firstly, coke does not contain phosphoric acid. You can verify this by checking the constituents of coke on its crown.You lack the knowledge of end product of rice,eba,yam,fufu,garri,starch,amala which you consume everyday without considering your daily dietery requirement. The sugar in coke is not different from what you find in all these foods.So why is coke the culprit. If you have been paid to do dirty marketing coke will be a bad market for you.if you want to know more about sugar content in coke please contact me.

What's this silly maggot saying? Coca cola is a trade mark for an international product. If I put something up means you and I are both in the same country or I'm a marketer? Silly fool. You're just talking shiit without having any clue of the shiit you spew about. I'm a biochemist, I know about daily dietary requirement better than you do. And who says coke contains no tetraoxophosphate (V) acid. Your brain must be having shortage of nervous impulses. Check if coke contains phosphoric acid or not here idiiot

I love taking on goats like you.

Julieccentric: it gives me migraine...i love coke though but one bottle equals almost two days of some excruciating head-breaking migraine..i intentionally avoid it.

My exact experience
Alomo tingz on ma mind...

the question is this,why cant nafdac as a regulatory body ban or try to impose some regulations on som3 of this drinks since the man in d village may not understand the everything u listed or d dangers from d daily consumption of coke.

I only drink coke/soft drinks where freely available.

Pure nonsense being spilled here abt coke. I guess dis is d return match of d la casera bleach talk

Emmadani: *hissis*i tot it was the other coke.

weyrey u one smoke Y u no cut near by grass n dry awpawpaw leaf grind to geda or na dry cocoyam leaf wrap am 4 wrisler n pipe dey go

What level are you in Biochemistry? I guess you haven't taken advanced Biochem, so wait till then you'll know what this is all about. Insulin outburst occurs when the blood sugar level is high, and insulin facilitates cellular uptake of sugar by stimulating gluconeogensis in the liver and skeletal muscles rather than glycolysis (in all somatic cells) you know about.

Glycogen you referred to is a complex sugar in the human body stored in the liver and in muscles. Out burst stimulation of insulin from the beta Islet of Langerhans (reverse of alpha Islet of Langerhans which secretes glucagon that increases blood sugar) in the pancrease reduces the sugar level by stimulating glycogen formation (there is limit to this though) and consistent exposure to much sugars and ageing reduce the function of this pancreatic cells and eventually the results is diabetes mellitus.


Oooops! I only posted a health thread, never knew it's gonna hit the frontpage and people started querying me. Na wa for Naija guys ooo.

FYI: I'm a Biochemist who is actively into Biomedical research. You can bring more of your questions about carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids...... I'm ready for you!

Nothing beats my "jedi"....

Julieccentric:


Try to observe yourself dear, for me anything that has caffeine is a No No including paracetamol, exposure to sunlight, noise, excess light, petrol smell, squinting my eyes(I had to increase my font on my phone and pc to extra large, really terrible), pepperish foods esp late, wearing heels for too long, and most especially a day to my monthly flow.

my friend read before writing out of point.I just asked a simple question "how is sugar/glucose/carbohydrate converted to fat/fatty acids when i drink a bottle of coke?

it wil only mak u colect more bottles, get u high.........colect some notes in ur wallet.......n mak u feel much more proud cuz u are damagin ur womb#sacarsm
