A lawsuit was filed this week against the company that makes Poppi Prebiotics Soda claiming the beverage is not as “gut healthy” as it’s advertised to be.
According to Poppi’s website, the soda is made with fruit juice, apple cider vinegar and inulin prebiotics — which can help with bowel movements, to stabilizing blood sugar and maintaining the good bacteria in your gut, according to the Cleveland Clinic. “Accordingly, a consumer would need to drink more than four Poppi sodas in a day to realize any potential health benefits from its prebiotic fiber. However, even if a consumer were to do this, Poppi’s high sugar content would offset most, if not all, of these purported gut health benefits,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also cites studies that show consuming too much agave inulin – the type of prebiotic found in Poppi – can actually have adverse health effects, particularly on someone who has preexisting digestive issues.
