Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. — LEMON-LIME FLAVORED SODA, LEMON-LIME

Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This clinical assessment of the lemon-lime soda identifies four distinct MRT-tested triggers. The primary sweetener, high fructose corn syrup, contains both Corn and Fructose. The product also utilizes Citric Acid (both as a direct additive and as potassium citrate) and Benzoic Acid (via potassium benzoate) for flavor and preservation. Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables, likely including lemon and lime extracts which are also on the MRT 176 panel. Given the trigger count of 4, this product is classified as high risk.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.
Fructose is tested independently from cane sugar on the MRT panel. Found as high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, and crystalline fructose. MRT tests inflammatory mediator response, not malabsorption.
A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.
A preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 4 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.
This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 4 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.
Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
