I swore off soda years ago. I see these people at work drinking these huge bottles and it makes me sick just looking at it.

Prebiotic Sodas; that sounds like a delicious beverage..NOT!
As long as it doesn’t taste, pour or look like Ensure, who knows?

These are probiotic but full of artificial sweeteners.

sounds like more false advertising.

I wonder how the quality of prebiotics last in the container?
what additives or fake sweeteners that aren’t healthy?
sodium content?

just like the ridiculous adverts years ago for probiotics in yogurt, when it turned out most of them really didn’t have much or do much good, but had lots of sugars.

“What are they”

No clue.

The three paragraph excerpt is just a product sales ad.

**I swore off soda years ago.**

Same here, but more like decades ago. What irritates me is the litter from all the drinks.

I mostly drink water (filtered, from our spring), but daily make a mixed 12 oz glass full of water, 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinager, and 1 tbsp honey. 2 or 3 times a week I have a glass of 2/3 water and 1/3 either POM or OJ. I’m quite content to miss out on fizz.

Pre-biotics most commonly are fiber rich foods and resistant starches. Pro-biotics feed on them to produce molecules that get absorbed by your body and become a large part of your immune system.

I would love to find a tonic water without any “sweeteners”!! There is a reason it is called tonic water.

“we had to strike that perfect balance of innovation and trust.”

Had to laugh at that!! How much sugar has Coke provided the US consumer?

I learned about this product just this morning on the local morning news. It was a story required from the television network.

I don’t care how good soda sounds, it is still soda.

"Prebiotic sodas: What are they,"

Snake oil.

Next question?

I float between zero sugar pop, ice tea and kombucha.
