The best selling drink in the world is Coca-Cola

Ever wondered why you are drinking it like a Vampire thirsty for blood? Perhaps you get cranky when you haven't taken it

You drink Coke 6 times a day, you think you are doing me?

Let's talk about COCA COLA ADDICTION...A THREAD

Do you know Coca-Cola was named because of the coca leaf and Kola that were used to add flavor.

Coca leaf is known for its psychoactive alkaloid, cocaine.

Shocked??

Research as also shown that Coca-Cola stimulates centers in the brain comparable to the effects of heroin.

It triggers a person’s urge to drink another can.

Do you know that Coke Cola contains caffeine which can be very addictive.

Excess consumption of cola drinks can block many natural hormones that are responsible for sound sleep. After a certain period of time, this may lead to insomnia.

Let's put aside it's addiction for a minute, There are 37 grams (g) of added sugar, which equates to almost 10 teaspoons (tsp), in a single can of cola.

Ten Tea spoons. 10. TEN , and you drink like 5/6 daily.

I laugh in heart disease, diabetes and Obesity.

Back on track, Coca cola also contains caffeine- the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive substance and has associated psychiatric syndromes such as caffeine-induced sleep disorder, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder and caffeine dependency.

How do you feel when you haven't had a can or bottle a cake in a day?

Headache? Irritability? Mood swings? Concentration difficulties?

You get the point.

Thanks for coming to my early morning class.
