Got a challenge for you all!! Drink an orange fanta soda warning it causes die off big time. So do not drink a whole one. It has oils of rosin in it and wow it kills lyme and babs. Wow it hit me so hard for two days i did it twice in a row and then i drank half and confirmed it works. Let me know if you try it.

Also contains FD&C Red 40, which I find to be a big inducer of CYP3A4. This just causes a bunch of detoxing effects for nothing, and I don't need any more of that.

What makes you think glycerol ester of wood rosin causes die off?

I remember drinking a few of those years ago. Fanta and the flavor variations of Crush and Welches are the sweetest soft drinks in modern history.

As tasty as all that sugar and chemicals are (were), soda like this should have a diabetic and cavity warning label.

When really sick, especially while experiencing gastroparesis, I have drunk a fair amount of Vitamin Water, both the orange flavored regular kind (contains ester of rosin and 27g sugar) and the lemonade flavored Zero kind (which contains ester of rosin and no sugar). Neither caused any sort of die-off for me, and helped me feel better. Fanta would make me feel bad from the 73g of high-fructose corn syrup, but I know different bodies are used to different ingredients.

Have you read somewhere that ester of rosin has antimicrobial effects? That would be very interesting.

Most likely Donjr is just reacting to the dye, which could cause some detoxing similar to a herx, but this is not a herx.

The obvious test would be to see if the other flavors cause the same reaction. I assume it won't.

73g of added sugar from high fructose corn syrup per serving!

that's just a crazy amount to be consuming regularly

fructose is often marketed as "healthier than sugar" (sucrose) - as its thought of as coming from fruit
- in reality they are just using the cheapest bulk source of sugars they can get - which comes from corn - and fructose is actually worse than sucrose due to the pathway through which its metabolised

I drink orange crush but I’m cutting back now - not because of the sugar - but I wonder about the colour.

Actually Fructose is even worse than Glucose because it is proccessed through the liver.

A Lot of NALFLD comes from high Fructose corn syrup and the fda does nothing. It so crazy.

High-fructose corn syrup is its own beast - worse than regular corn syrup and way worse than regular fructose. There's a difference between consuming fructose in an apple and consuming HFCS in a soda.

Supporting the US corn farming industry is apparently more important than a diseased population with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, and type II diabetes or insulin resistance linked to it.

Everyone is missing my point sugar does not affect me I eat it all the time no issues, my point was try one prove it works or not took three days for me to detox and man I feel so much better. I did another and herding again there is something happening I want some one to verify is all.

even if others had similar reactions - i would be wary of assuming its due to an antimicrobial effect against borrelia

i think there are other explanations for why some concoction of colours and chemicals could make a persons symptoms worse for a while - so we have to be wary of the reasoning that goes

my symptoms flare when i take antimicrobial -
my symptoms also flare when i take Fanta
therefore Fanta is antimicrobial

it could be ( possibly) but its just as likely - if not more so that it could just be triggering symptoms via some other route
eg
-some form of sensitivity reaction to one of the ingredients
-some reaction of gut bacteria to one or other ingredient - raising signalling chemicals in the gut
-just a reaction to a large dose of fructose
-etc
-etc

I haven't drank soda in years. All that sugar makes me feel worse. Idk. I guess something could work for someone. Whatever works for you. When I habe sugar I feel like crap, and get a terrible night's sleep. Soda does make feel pretty refreshed when I take a sip, it's quite addicting. Like I said it's been years. Soda has drugs in it, why do you think.its so addicting. There's also history on this.
