Your strength for your gut is not soda, it's not alcohol, and it's not energy drinks. Now, all of those are terrible. Don't get me wrong, but this drink does something that does don't. Specifically, it destroys the mucus lining on your stomach and intestines. That protective barrier that keeps the acid and bacteria where they belong. And when that lining breaks down, you get acid reflux, bloating, leaky gut, food sensitivities that you've never had before. Your immune system starts to attack your own tissues. And the worst thing about it is this drink is marketed as a health beverage. I mean, people drink it every morning and they think it's doing them some good. As it strips away their mucus lining and causes something called sebal, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. You ready for this? It's diet soda. Specifically, the artificial sweeteners aspartame and sucralos. They wipe out the good bacteria. One city found that a single serving destroyed up to 50% of your beneficial microbiome. So replace it with spring water and lemon. Your gut will start healing within 48 hours. They will thank you. Go ahead and try it, it will work.
