what would happen if I drank a Coke?

"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. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)"

Healthbolt's "What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?" article was a very interesting read, especially in light of my recent decision to quit soda (which is proving to be much harder than I thought, by the way). I knew Coke had a lot of sugar, but 10 teaspoons? Yikes.
