I discovered something in the last few weeks. Pepsi interferes with my medication. I been taking medications since my early 20s and I had no idea that all of this time, I was not getting full benefit because I religiously drank Pepsi the whole time.
The acid in Pepsi and most carbonated drinks kills a bacteria in your gut that is involved with processing most medications. I stopped drinking Pepsi about 2 weeks ago and I been feeling like I'm on a whole new medication that is working better than anything in my life. Seriously, I feel like a million dollars lately and getting better every day.
If you take medications, whatever you do, don't take them with cola or any kind of carbonated drink, you may be unintentionally killing the effect the medication is supposed to have.
Track. It's been a long time fact. That pepsi,/coke have so many chemicals. In them. Without taking medication. That drink. Can. Still harm. You.............
I will never touch anything carbonated again, I'm feeling too good. Cola is bad bad bad, even the diet is bad because all the other chemicals are still there and there are question marks around diet sweeteners (I have to use them unfortunately since being dx diabetic).

Sounds plausible. Yesterday I was saying that you shouldn't drink soda if you want the taste buds of a normal human being, the same could easily apply to gut bacteria.

Track, diabetics do NOT have to use artificial sweetners. This is a wrong advice given by ignorant doctors. Aspartame being the worst!!!
A natural sweetener suitable for diabetics is STEVIA. It's a plant. Look it up.
I been stop drinking, any kinds of pop I drink sparkling ice, it's really good and zero sugar, zero sodium, zero everything, got it in different flavors, good when cold

Thank you for that info. Pasing it on to a loved one who's on meds and drinks fizzy drinks.
