lol ,what a crock! I saw this advertised a month or so ago and laughed my socks off. I'm not worried, as 1) humans have been selling liquid swill to their fellow man for many, many centuries and will always sell liquid swill, and 2) anyone who is moronic enough to fall for this industry garbage deserves exactly what they get. I can only feel sorry for the average, uninformed consumer so much.

I love you guys and gals! It's because of all of you that I remain healthy! It's difficult trying to save the world. Start with yourself! Slowly others will see you as an influence. That's when I plan to attack these $%$&&'s.

Marco from Dallas!

Anyone with a half a brain would know that there is nothing nutritious about soda regardless of what they put in it if it has sugars, high fructose corn syrup and carbonation in it.

But we don't care do we? It sure does taste good. After all, that's why we eat candy, ice cream, and drink Starbuck's Mocha Lattes to our heart disease's content

If many of you don't eat any sugar, more power to you. For me, I still consume sugar in my foods and instinctively always ate a protein with it . A couple years ago I greatly reduced the sodas I drank and eliminated colas. Last year I switched to organic Rapadura, Unrefined, and Turbinado sugars. Recently however, I decided to eliminate all corn syrup in all sources, with no other changes to see what happened. I switched to an organic Italian Soda by Organics that I found at Vons, sweetened with sugar at 120 calories per 8 oz.. It's first two ingredients are carbonated water and organic blood orange juice. Yes, I know, it "would be better" to have the raw juice. I immediately lost 5 lbs doing nothing else and my weight has been inching slowly lower. Makes you wonder what is in that Corn Syrup that made such a difference!

You know the raw food lifestyle is getting popular when Pepsi starts trying to pretend it's "raw" too.....

I agree that people let themselves be fooled because they are too lazy (or apathetic?) to read labels. The girls at the office actually make fun of me for my health-minded ways. Just today they loosely compared me to David Koresh (geez) for forwarding an article called 'my aspertame experiment'. One of the girls drinks 4-6 cans of Coke Zero per day, and wonders why she has bleeding under her skin!

Easy we do not read. We are too willing to take someone's word for truth, because we have become a lazy society. Too lazy to pick up a book, so that we know what we are introducing to our bodies. Then we wonder why we become ill. Easy, lazy.

Preserving our health is simple, but regaining our health once we have lost it is not so easy. We as people need to more proactive about our health, ask questions, and more questions, and if your Doctor tries to make you feel dumb, dump him/her for a new model. There should be no health question off limits when speaking with Doctor, and he/she should be more than willing to give a rational answer.

I agree with the info whole-heartedly. However, I will give Pepsi credit in one arena, I had read on my MNSBC news that hey had petioned to get stevia put into their diet drink and the FDA would not allow because it is an herb-go figure. Let us use splenda which is one molecule away from being a plastic and other artificial sweetners which are chemically made and so healthy for the body!!!!!

Is Caramel Coloring and Gum Arabic bad for you? I remember being told to stay away from "Gum" labeled ingredients. I don't remember why though.

I hate to burst people's bubble here but I am glad to see Pepsi Raw. I'm not saying it's healthy like a bunch of kale would be but I think it's about time that we start seeing HEALTHIER alternatives to what's currently on the market.

As I tell people, I don't know if I would be drinking raw milk with my cow share today if I hadn't started with Horizon organic milk and seen some difference in my allergies over regular milk. I then went from that to a high quality organic milk that was not homogenized and then bought my cow share.

I feel like a broken record (I think I've even said this before in a comment on this site actually) - My point is that I needed some stepping stones to get me to the raw milk. I wasn't even aware of cow shares when I started switching my milk.

People reading Dr. Mercola may be completely aware that Pepsi Raw is still not a healthy product but I'm happy to see companies headed towards some HEALTHIER options for the mass public.

Why is it that the food industry puts High Fructose Corn Syrup into practically everything? Last time I checked I was not a hummingbird!

So Yes I am a big believer in no sugar, I stopped using sweeteners, except for stevia and occasional maple syrup, close to 9 years age. So I was shocked when I read the ingredients in Dr Mercola's coconut energy bars and sugar was one of the ingredients. What's up with that?

Has anyone here ever heard of Zevia? It's a new natural soda that just came on the market. http://www.zevia.com/ Looking at the ingredients list, it seems pretty natural to me. I emailed the company and asked some additional questions about their ingredients and was pretty happy with their answers. He explained their water filtration system, that they use real, true citric acid (not the nasty version from mold), no phosphoric acid, etc.

Thoughts?
