Do not recommend any "soft" drinks, or carbonated beverages, as these are truly health hazards, but only are minor contributors to your sister's dementia. Doubt at this point, there would be any substantial effect if she continued or stopped. Might have your doctor check for diabetes just in case.

Worth trying to restrict/replace her Pepsi with water at least partially, her crying and compulsive drinking are likely due to her dementia.

Trying to force her into a "healthy" habit may do more harm than good. At this stage it is okay for her eat and drink whatever she likes.
