What our research found about soda & prebiotic soda
Soda labels split into three camps: classic sugar-sweetened sodas, zero-sugar sodas sweetened with stevia, monk fruit or artificial sweeteners, and “prebiotic” or “gut-health” sodas that cut sugar to a few grams and add fiber. Harvard’s Nutrition Source advises avoiding sugary drinks such as soda, and the WHO advises against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control, so the best soda is a matter of what you want to cut.
Prebiotic sodas typically list added fibers such as chicory-root inulin, cassava or other soluble fibers, and fruit juices. Fiber from added sources can cause gas in some people at high intakes, and the sugar figure on the can may be low compared with a classic soda but is not zero. Compare sugar, sweetener type and fiber per can, and check caffeine in colas.

What to compare
- Sugar per can. A classic 12-ounce soda has roughly nine to ten teaspoons of sugar; prebiotic and zero-sugar sodas cut it sharply.
- Sweetener type. Stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, sucralose and cane sugar all appear.
- Fiber additions. Prebiotic sodas add soluble fibers; compare grams of fiber.
- Caffeine. Cola styles may include caffeine; check the label.

Unknown and stale evidence never passes “Only show matches.” The clean score is strict and needs no setup: nine additive groups on the current label plus verified organic and sourcing claims; without them a product cannot reach 100. It is not a nutrition, allergy, or safety rating.
“Buy on Amazon” opens a reviewed product listing; “Search on Amazon” opens an Amazon search for the product, so pick the exact match yourself. Confirm the package, seller, availability, and current price before checkout. Buying links do not influence ingredient results.

Your preferences, explained.
The clean score is strict and needs no setup: nine additive groups not found in a current ingredient statement, plus a verified organic claim (and a grass-fed or pasture-raised claim for animal foods), are needed for 100; a possible match earns half and a missing claim earns nothing. Missing or expired evidence stays unknown. It does not assess nutrition, allergies, contaminants, or safety.
