A member asked:
Are sodas like dr p. hard on your kidneys?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If 1 has no h/o diabetes or pre-diabetes, or uncontrolled high blood pressure, then drinking can of dr. Pepper doesn't directly harm the kidneys.Damage occurs from longstanding high blood sugar or high bp, among other causes.As sodas have caffeine&loads of sugar, 1 should avoid these if 1 has uncontrolled BP or h/o diabetes.But rmbr that sodas r loaded w/ calories...Too many cal not good for wgt.
