Refreshing cola to burn fat?

• April 25, 2024

"Pepsi Special" is the name of the cola drink that was launched on the market in Japan by the subsidiary company of that country, Suntory Holdings Limited, which has been added to dextrin , so according to its manufacturers it would help burn fat , reduce the cholesterol Y accelerate the metabolism , according to the site 20minutos.es

The dextrin it's a kind of Soluble fiber which is found in various foods and dietary supplements that helps regulate the transit of digestive system and to reduce the absorption of some lipid components present in the diet (triglycerides and cholesterol among them), so it is very recurrent against the constipation .

In this sense, according to the manufacturers, the cola drink allows to inhibit the absorption of a specific percentage of the fats present in the diet, so in Japan it has been cataloged as "FOSHU" (Food for Specified Health Use), that is to say , as "food for a specific use on health". In other words, Japanese FOSHU are the functional foods of our environment.

The "probable benefits" of this drink are supported by a study carried out by researchers from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo , in which it was shown that rats fed with dextrin and fat can absorb less fat than mice that did not consume the fiber.

However, this type of study has not been carried out in people, let alone the effects of its long-term consumption, so the Dr. Walter Willett, president of Nutrition at Harvard Medical School clarifies that "Unless Pepsi can provide data from controlled studies in humans, its properties should be considered false and misleading."

About, Lilian Cheung, editorial director of the nutrition website of Harvard Medical School, affirms that it will be necessary to carry out this type of study in human beings because they know, from previous investigations, that some of the effects of the consumption of dextrin in the short term they are stomachache, inflammation and gases.

The cola is currently sold only in that country, but it is planned that it can soon be marketed in Europe and America, if the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and its counterpart FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) approve it
