Have you ever wondered what will happen if you boil a Coca-Cola bottle?

What will happen if you boil a Coca-Cola bottle? Obviously, the sugar will probably remain on the bottom of the pan and will most likely look like tar. But do you have any idea of how disgusting it actually looks?

Just like 18 million other people, we saw the popular YouTube video of the charming Russian amateur scientist known as the “Crazy Russian Hacker”, whose actual name is Tara's Kalakos. He decided to analyze how much sugar does soda contain and more precisely how much sugar per jar of coke the customer takes in their body.

You can see what is left in his video after 30 minutes of boiling the carbonated drink – a few ounces of sticky, black tar-looking goop that doesn't seem to belong in the human stomach.

The Crazy Russian Hacker has generated what could just be the most effective bit of anti-sugar ad ever. Public health agencies across the world have generated numerous infographics, advertising campaigns, and factsheets about the health risks of carbonated drinks, but they should probably only show people this video that proves the point that cola is simply made out of sugar, evidenced by the way that it boils down to what is essentially caramel.

Although the labels in the video are of the bottle, the red can reminds us of Coca Cola, which comprises 65 g of sugar in a single 590 ml bottles, along with the whopping 108 g in a liter. Pepsi is even sweeter, using 69 g of sugar at a 591 ml bottle and 112 g in a liter.

What are the risks of too much sugar?

The American Heart Association states that 180,000 deaths globally may be connected with carbonated soft drinks, about 25,000 of these in the USA. And data from the US National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that Americans are now becoming heavier – one-third of the adults (34.9% ) and 17% of kids in the U.S. are overweight, the bureau accounts, which puts the annual medical costs of obesity to more than $147 billion.

A study by the Imperial College London discovered that approximately one can of soda
consumed on a daily basis raises the risk of Type 2 diabetes with about 22%.

The Charity University Medical Centre in Berlin also discovered that a sugar-rich diet is bad for the brain as well and raises the risk of dementia dramatically as it “harms the brain’s structure and function.”

And if there remains debate over whether sugar is an addictive substance, researchers believe that a cookie such as Oreo is just as addictive as cocaine.

Since publishing his revealing video about what will happen if you boil a coca-cola bottle, Tara has become a YouTube sensation and has accumulated more than 11 million subscribers on his channel as of now. He continues to post interesting and innovative videos on his channel every week, so make sure to follow his channel to not miss out on other interesting experiments.
