We are seeing its advertisement since school time and it is now in our veins almost every celebrity has advertised for coca cola and nowadays every youngster follows the sayings of his/her favorite actor or actress . But do you know something that how it effects our body we will discuss it after this following image of coca cola.
NOW QUESTION ARISES IS IT BAD TO DRINK COCA COLA !! LET US DISCOVER IT TOGETHER .
Coca cola is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company. Now let us discover how it effects our body . we all know that sugary things whether it is food , sweet or drink it has very harmful effect on our body especially sugary drinks like coca cola can cause obesity , tooth decay etc.A can of coca cola can be very harmful to body.
An infographic by the British pharmacist Niraj Naik shows the damage that a 330 milliliter (ml) can of Coca-Cola can inflict on the body within 1 hour of consumption. Naik based the infographic on research by health writer Wade Meredith.
According to Naik, the intense sweetness of Coca-Cola resulting from its high sugar content should make a person vomit as soon as it enters the body. However, the phosphoric acid in the beverage dulls the sweetness, enabling people to keep the drink down.
Blood sugar levels increase dramatically within 20 minutes of drinking the cola, explains Naik, causing a burst of insulin. The liver then turns the high amounts of sugar into fat.Within 40 minutes, the body has absorbed all of the caffeine from the cola. This caffeine causes the pupils to dilate and the blood pressure to increase. By this point, the Coca-Cola has blocked the adenosine receptors in the brain, preventing drowsiness.

COCA COLA UNETHICAL PRACTICES IN INDIA IT IS ABOUT KALA DERA PLANT!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For farmers the depletion of groundwater was creating direct impact on there income .
For women they have to walk an additional 5 to 6 kilometers just to fetch water to meet the basic daily needs of the family. For many children in Kala Dera, it meant leaving schools to provide a much needed helping hand doing household work since the women had additional burdens.
The community of Kala Dera, as well as the villages of Plachimada and Mehdiganj in India that are opposing Coca-Cola bottling plants, have enjoyed significant international support. And most notable in lending support have been college and university students across the globe, and in particular, the US, UK and Canada - some of Coca-Cola's larger markets.
One of the successful campaigns was at the prestigious University of Michigan in the US, which, after a sustained student-led campaign in which the India Resource Center represented the India issues, placed the Coca-Cola company on probation on January 1, 2006. The university also mandated that Coca-Cola agree to an independent assessment of its operations in India if it ever wanted to do business with the university.
The assessment made four recommendations with regard to the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Kala Dera, making it clear that Coca-Cola could no longer utilize the overexploited groundwater resource in Kala Dera:
1. Transport water from the nearest aquifer that may not be stressed
2. Store water from low-stress seasons
3. Relocate the plant to a water-surplus area
4. Shut down this facility
The community in Kala Dera, needless to say, welcomed the recommendations.
Unfortunately, they still wait for Coca-Cola to make good on the recommendations made by the assessment that Coca-Cola itself paid for.
WHAT WAS COCA COLA RESPONSE TO IT :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Coca-Cola has had seven months to respond to the findings on Kala Dera. We have not seen much action on the part of Coca-Cola that address the concerns raised in the assessment. In fact, what we have seen much of, is an unethical and dishonest campaign by the Coca-Cola company in an attempt to misinterpretation of the issues.This is purely dishonest and unethical behavior of coca cola.
