The time has come when soda (pop) can help you lose weight. We are not talking about Diet Coke or even Diet Pepsi here. No this is the real deal, weight loss soda. Drink it and Pepsi claims that you will lose weight.

“Why choose between a hamburger and a slice of pizza? If you choose Pepsi Special, you can have both!” touts Pepsi commercials in Japan promoting their new product, “Pepsi Special.”
Not yet in the US, Pepsi Special released for the first time right before the holiday season in Japan. Like others, you may be asking, why Japan? Because Japan offers more lenient beverage laws than say, New York City.
So what is the ingredient that is responsible for this exciting new product? Dextrin claimed to reduce the fat absorption by the body with the results that seem to vary depending on the company that conducted the study.
Don't get your hopes up for some miracle soda pop that will end all weight loss problems, because there are a few natural but unpleasant side effects like frequent diarrhea, gas, and bloating.
While a little dextrin won’t send you screaming for the bathroom, you may have to make a few extra pit-stops on your way home. And even after all of that, the soda still contains fructose corn syrup, which makes it just as unhealthy as the regular Pepsi. What's up Pepsi?
Kudos to taking an innovative step to bring dietary supplements to the mainstream, but we have to say keep trying! Keep in mind that no product will ever be a cure-all, it takes effort and exercise, and yes.... self-discipline to obtain what you want, no matter what the media says!
