Statistics show that after 10 minutes a person drinks any Coca Cola flavor drink, 10 sugar teaspoons hits your system, that’s why they get that rapid high that’s why people drink coke.
Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes and your liver responds, with a burst of insulin.
Within 40 minutes, the caffeine absorption is totally complete and so your pupil are dilated the same way as if you had taken some kind of an amphetamine.
Your blood pressure rises, your pupils are dilated and your liver dumps more into the bloodstream to try to overcome that.
Then, within 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production and stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain so people feel good, they get that natural high, but it’s a physically identical response in the body to heroine.
