A standard 12-ounce Coke packs about 39 grams of sugar. That’s roughly ten teaspoons of pure crystal chaos. Your body doesn’t love that.
When that sugar hits your system, your gut panics. It pulls water from your own cells to dilute the sugary flood. This process is called osmosis, but think of it as your body borrowing water to handle the sugar rush.
The result? You pee out more water than you took in. It’s like a hydration loan with terrible interest rates.
