A claim circulating online argues that dismissing new prebiotic sodas as 'not medicine' is reactionary and anti-scientific, drawing a comparison to early skepticism about vaccines. The remark has sparked pushback, as prebiotic sodas like Olipop and Poppi are marketed with gut-health benefits but are not regulated or proven as medical treatments.
Why now: Prebiotic sodas are a fast-growing trend, and people are arguing over whether their gut-health claims are legitimate.
