微信朋友圈流传过一篇文章,说的是一罐可乐进入你的身体后会发生什么。虽然里面有些夸张的地方,但可乐含糖量高却是真的。一罐可乐里的糖,足可以做出一大根棒棒糖。

Despite what you may have heard, Coke is not the new ebola. By now, everyone on the planet has likely seen The Renegade Pharmacist’s infographic about what happens to your body immediately after you drink a can of Coke.

Though many of those claims have been debunked, it doesn’t change the fact that Coke and most soft drinks are loaded with sugar.

But what does that mean to the average consumer? After all, what does something like 39 grams of sugar (the amount in a standard U.S. sized can of Coke) look like? Food photographer and artist Henry Hargreaves wanted to find out.

"I decided to do an experiment to show what’s in soft drinks after the water is boiled away. Once boiled, I took each remaining substance and poured it into a lollipop mold. After all, I figure that’s what you’re essentially getting: candy in costume as a soft drink," Hargreaves told Mashable.

He made a lollipop mold for each drink. He then boiled each liquid until the water almost entirely evaporated and it was reduced to syrupy goo. He poured each mixture into its corresponding mold, added a lollipop stick and voila — a visual representation of all the sugar you don’t know you’re drinking.

The results don’t surprise Hargreaves, who says "Are you willing to drink a gigantic lollipop’s worth of sugar during lunch every day? In this case, seeing really is believing."
