Coca-Cola: A terrible plight on our health, or a nice treat from time to time? It depends on moderation, but Coke has been known to have some adverse effects.


Recently, 50-year-old father of two George Prior decided to try an experiment showing the potential dangers 0f overindulging in sugary beverages. He drank 10 Cokes a day for 30 days and blogged the results along the way. His body absolutely transformed — inside and out.

While “10 Cokes a day” seems like an impossible number to most of us, Prior is quick to remind us that the amount of sugars found in Coca-Cola can also be found in teas, sports drinks, juices, and certain coffee drinks.


Maybe you’re not drinking 10 actual soft drinks each day, but the same quantity of sugar may sneak in through other beverages.

Scroll down for more information on Prior’s experiment — including a video of his transformation — plus some photos of another shocking experiment featuring the effects of Coca-Cola on teeth. Do experiments like this change the way you think about soda? Let us know in the comments.
