Best Answer

You get Diabetes eventually.

---------------------------------------------------------------

While eating too many sugary foods can lead to diabetes, it is not always the case. When you eat too many sugary foods your body releases a hormone called insulin from your pancreas into your bloodstream. Insulin absorbs suagr from the blood to enable you to use it for energy rather than store it as fat but when you eat too much suagr you build up a resistence to insulin and it loses its power to convert sugar to energy. Eating too many sugary foods will, most often, result in weight gain, Other times it can lead to low magnesium levels (needed for blood circulation), water retention, high blood pressure and possibly even Heart disease. - Laurynm

Here's what happens to your body within an hour when you assault it with a soda:

Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don't vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.

Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.

Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.

Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain - a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.

After 60 minutes,it's sugar crash time.

How many sodas have you had today? How about your kids? Since 2005, white bread was dethroned as the number one source of calories in the American diet, being replaced by soft drinks.

The average American drinks more than 60 gallons of soft drinks each year, but before you grab that next can of soda, consider this: one can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 milligrams of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. Not to mention the fact that it's also your largest source of dangerous high-fructose modified corn syrup.

Here are the other major components of a can of soda:

  • Phosphoric acid can interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, leading to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones.
  • Sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and other negative side effects.
  • Aspartame is used as a sugar substitute in Diet Soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with Aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilepsy seizures.
  • Caffeine causes jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps and birth defects.
  • Tap water can carry any number of chemicals including chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, cadmium and various organic pollutants. Tap water is the main ingredient in bottled soft drinks.

Not only are sodas filled with unhealthy ingredients, the effects on your body can be devastating. Pure water is a much better choice, or if you must drink a carbonated beverage, try sparkling mineral water with a squirt of lime or lemon juice.

All that happens is that you may feel a little sick also remember to brush your teeth but that does not mean if you eat lots of sweets every day then you will not damage your body. You can eat sweets but not too many.

It depends on what type of sugar you are eating. If you are eating fruits and other foods that contain natural sugar, probably nothing would happen. If you are eating lots of refined sugar, it can cause teeth to decay and might cause diabetes (among other health problems). If you drink a lot of pop that contains high fructose corn syrup, it can cause teeth to decay and break off and other health problems.

It is best for health not to eat any refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Neither has any nutrients and both can cause serious health issues.

Your body breaks it down, just like other foods, into glucose. But, straight sugar is already in glucose form. Glucose is what your body uses for energy. So, you get s quick energy boost. (It doesn't last long) Also, the body sees no difference between sugar and corn syrup.
