Airforce Slender NutriSoda

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Mar 29, 2007

Anything with the name Nutrisoda has to bought and reviewed ASAP, especially a "nutrient-enhanced sodas with zero sugar, caffeine, sodium or aspartame." There are quite a few varieties available including Calm, Focus, Flex, Immune, Radiant, Renew, Energize and Slender - which is the first one I tried.

The Slender variety is flavored with pink grapefruit and guava. From the website, Slender "facilitates healthy weight management" and is "is full of the right stuff to help you healthily manage your weight." Love the name of the sodas - HATED the taste . It has a very acidic, metallic and medicinal taste. I love tart beverages, but this just goes way overboard (citric acid is the 2nd most abundant ingredient after water). It turns out that this 'soda' is nothing more than a glorified energy drink. It contains the usual supplements of carnitine, tyrosine, and something called garcinia cambogia - a plant containing hydroxycitric acid which has been found to suppress fatty acid synthesis, food intake, and promote induced weight loss.

One 8. ounce can of Airforce Slender NutriSoda contains 10 calories and 25% of many vitamins and minerals. The 8.4 ounce can also costs $1.99. If I believed the hype and wanted a calorie / fat burning or reducing beverage, then I would go with Coca Cola's Enviga over this [read the review]. At least that only has 5 calories, taste better, is cheaper and is supposed to burn 60 calories if I drink 3 cans a day. Heck, I would even prefer Red Bull Light over this - and that also only has 10 calories [read the review] and Rush Energy Lite, which has no calories [read the review].
