We typically like to dissuade people from drinking soda. There is nothing good in soda for you. There’s nothing natural about soda. And we’d love to scare you away from drinking it however we can.
The way your body interacts with the environment can change your DNA. This change may apply to what you eat and drink because of epigenetics.
We have also seen research that artificial sweeteners in excess can be a problem and change our gut microbiomes. These gut microbiomes do a lot for us: manage our mood, metabolic health, and immune system. Research is mounting on this problem.
