Scientists reveal you lose 12 minutes of your life every time you drink a coke

Every time you reach for a coke, you could be losing 12 minutes of your life, scientists have claimed.

The worrying statistics were found in a study conducted by the University of Michigan which delved into just how much time certain processed foods take from your life.

Ultra-processed foods – which contain ingredients such as artificial colours and flavours, preservatives and emulsifiers – can be dangerous if not eaten in moderation.

And some favourites could end up costing you minutes of your life. A hot dog could shave off 36 minutes – and if you drink it with a coke, that’s another 12 minutes gone......

Which foods could shorten your life?

Hot dog – 36 minutes

Breakfast sandwich – 13 minutes

Eggs – 13 minutes

Coke – 12 minutes

Cheeseburgers – 9 minutes

Bacon – 6 minutes

"From what I understand, they grow cancer cells in corn syrup."

I seriously doubt it. And even if that were the case, the cancer cells in your body NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES receive RAW corn syrup. If you ingest corn syrup, your liver processes it into other compounds and those byproducts are what has been linked to (which isn't the same as "are proved to cause") cancer.

I grow mushrooms in rye grain. Does that prove rye causes mushrooms?

You don’t actually live longer, it just seems longer.

Who funded the research? Pepsi? Royal Crown Cola?

Be a Pepper and you're likely to break some bones doing the dance steps.

This makes me question my faith in science. Or in "The Science." Or at least in scientists.

Exactly like a medical “expert” guest on Coast to Coast radio said last week about getting sustained full sleep every night at the same time and obeying the light and dark signals of the outside world or we will die early.

Long time host George Noory said: “By your findings I would have been dead twenty or thirty years ago.”

One of the commercial quips says some of our guests have various conflicting opinions but of the audience it can be said all of us can’t sleep at night and listen to the show.

So, they’re saying a Coke will shorten your death experience by 12 minutes? Or when does the 12 minutes come off?
