Nearly
two months after a pharmacist created a graphic timeline portraying the process
of drinking Coke and the resulting ill effects on the body within one hour, the
graphic has gone viral.
The
graphic was first posted by The Renegade Pharmacist, who says he created it in
response to clients who complained they were still gaining weight despite
following a low-fat diet.
Niraj
Naik, who runs the health blog, says he was inspired by a post he saw on
Blisstree.com. "I am quite a creative person so thought it would be a good
way to represent the information," he told the Daily News.
The
beverage wreaks havoc on the body, according to the graphic, releasing an
excess of dopamine and leaving the individual dehydrated, sluggish, irritable
and
craving more.
According to a recent Gallup poll individuals in the U.S.
are beginning to cut back on soda, which marks an improvement on a 2012 Gallup
poll that found nearly half of Americans drink soda every day.
