Metro English-349 - 如果你只喝可口可乐，会怎样？
Coca-Cola can do some pretty strange things. And the ingredients inside of it might be even more bizarre. Just imagine what it’s doing inside your body after you drink it.
用可口可乐可以做些非常奇怪的事情，而且里面的成分可能更离奇。想象一下你喝了之后它在你体内会做出些什么事吧。
Now take that one step further, and imagine only drinking Coca-Cola for the rest of your life. What effects does Coca-Cola have on your body? What would this do to your teeth? And how bad would replacing water with coke be?
现在再多想一步，想象一下你的余生只喝可口可乐。可口可乐对你的身体有什么影响？这会对你的牙齿有什么影响？用可乐代替水到底会有多糟？
Believe it or not, someone has done something like this before. A woman in Monaco stopped drinking water and only drank Coca-Cola for 16 years straight. Did she survive doing this to her body? And what would happen if you did the same?
不管你信不信，以前有人做过这样的事。摩纳哥一名妇女停止了喝水，连续16年只喝可口可乐。她这么做还活得下来吗？如果你也这么做会怎么样？
Doctors recommend that people should drink anywhere from 3-4 liters of water a day. So instead, we’re going to replace that with Coca-Cola. A single can of Coke has 39 g (1.38 oz) of sugar.
医生建议人们每天饮用3-4升水。那么现在，我们要用可口可乐来代替它。一罐可乐含有39克（1.38盎司）的糖。
To get your daily fluid intake, you’d need to drink over eight cans of Coke each day. That’s 312 g of sugar. It would be like eating six chocalate bars. For reference, it’s recommended that people consume less than 40 grams of sugar every day.
为了保证每天的液体摄入量，你每天就需要喝8罐以上的可乐。那是312克糖。等于吃了六块巧克力。作为参考，建议人们每天摄入的糖分应该少于40克。
So, yeah, this would be a lot of extra sugar, not to mention the extra calories. Your Coke intake alone would be nearly an extra 8,000 calories a week. But that wouldn’t be all the extra calories you’d consume.
那没错，这将额外摄入很多的糖，更不用说额外的热量。单是你一周的可乐摄入量就要多出8000卡路里。但这些还不是所有你摄入的额外卡路里。
This sugary drink could also cause you to eat more as well. And with all these extra calories, it would lead to some serious weight gain. As you drink more Coke, tooth decay would also be a severe issue.
这种含糖饮料也会让你吃得更多。再加上这些额外的卡路里，会导致体重严重增加。当你喝很多可乐后，蛀牙也将是一个严重的问题。
Each sip of Coke would coat your teeth, tongue, and gums for hours after you’ve finished your soda. Unless you stick to an incredibly strict toothbrushing schedule, the sugars would slowly break down your enamel.
喝完汽水后，每一口可乐都会在牙齿、舌头和牙龈上覆盖数小时。除非你坚持严格的刷牙程序，否则糖会慢慢分解你的牙釉质。
This could eventually lead to your teeth completely rotting. And once you’re done drinking your sodas for the day, expect to be going to the washroom a lot. The caffeine in Coca-Cola is a natural diuretic, meaning that you’re going to be peeing a lot more.
这最终会导致你的牙齿完全腐烂。而且一旦你喝了一天的可乐，你就会经常光顾洗手间了。可口可乐中的咖啡因是一种天然利尿剂，意味着你会有很多尿。
But the caffeine would be the least of your worries. One of the main ingredients you’d need to worry about is the high fructose corn syrup. That’s because our bodies don’t metabolize it.
但是咖啡因不是你最需要担心的。你需要担心的主要成分之一是高果玉米糖浆。因为我们的身体不能代谢它。
And this could lead to a fatty liver. Symptoms of a fatty liver include fatigue and pain in the upper right abdomen. As you continue to drink Coca-Cola, you would experience even more health issues.
而这可能导致脂肪肝。脂肪肝的症状包括疲劳和右上腹疼痛。当你继续喝可口可乐时，你会遇到更多的健康问题。
You might have frequent fainting spells and have a potassium deficiency. Due to all the sugar, caffeine, and other chemicals, you’d also experience problems with your heart rate.
你可能经常晕厥，而且缺钾。由于所有的糖、咖啡因和其他化学物质的作用，你的心率也会出现问题。
But the issues won’t stop there. As time goes on, you’d also have a massive risk of getting Type 2 diabetes, and loads of vitamin deficiencies. And if all these issues continued, and you decided to ignore them, you could develop proteinuria, which could then lead to kidney problems.
但问题不会到此为止。随着时间的继续，你也会有患上2型糖尿病和大量维生素缺乏症的巨大风险。如果所有这些问题不断，你还忽略了它们，你可能会发展成蛋白尿，这大概就会导致肾脏问题了。
And after years of only drinking Coke, you’d eventually be 600 pounds, with a huge list of health issues. You’d take your final sips of Coca-Cola and then die due to a heart attack, kidney failure, or other health-related issue.
在多年只喝可乐之后，你的体重最终会达到600磅，巨大的健康问题也会层出不穷。你可能喝下最后一口可口可乐后，死于心脏病、肾衰竭或其他与健康有关的疾病。
But it doesn’t have to be like that. Remember the woman who drank Coca-Cola for 16 years? She had a lot of the same issues you had with fainting and weight gain. But after 16 years of only drinking Coke, she decided to stop, and her body bounced back to a relatively healthy state in a short period of time.
但也可能不一定是那样。还记得那个喝了16年可口可乐的女人吗？她出现了诸如晕倒和体重增加等很多和你相同的问题。但在16年只喝可乐后，她决定停下来，身体在短时间内恢复到相对健康的状态。
So you might be able to do this for over a decade without experiencing any severe repercussions. But although drinking only Coke for a week, month, or even a year wouldn’t kill you, it doesn’t mean you should do it.
所以，你大可以这样做超过10年，而不会经历什么更严重的后果，不过，尽管一周、一个月甚至一年只喝可乐不会致你于死地，但这并不意味着你就应该这么做。
