My husband claims it does, but I've been drinking it since before hormones and my levels are normal.

Hi,

In large smounts, it can alter metabolism and enhance excretion.  Twelve or more a day will have an effect on an average sized woman. 

That's a lot of coke....

Yes my Endocrinologist told me it does I used to drink 16 to 24 cans of Pepsi per day

And why do I get the feeling that it wasn't the caffeine free Pepsi??

Does that apply for the diet coke/pepsi varieties too?.    In the am, I'll have a coffee, usually, but in the pm, when I'm tight for time, I get a diet coke/pepsi, just for the shot of caffeine to get me over the daily hump of my gig.

You serious?? 😐🔫
I could never dream of touching that stuff in those type of quantities.
Maybe once a month max. And a can at that. Times I wouldn't touch it in a year.
I wouldn't be worrying about the effects on hormones, the effects on health in general is enough.

Yes It applies to basically the caffeine small amounts of caffeine are relatively safe, large amounts suppress estrogen levels that is we cis women that are trying to get pregnant are not supposed to drink caffeine. That is what my endo said anyway

No was not caffeine free I used to sleep with 3 cans of pepsi beside me so if I woke up I had one

 My rough calculation makes 20 cans of Pepsi at almost 2pound of sugar and twice the safe dose of caffeine a day!

Please stop

Oh I did and with in the first 30 days I drop 20 pounds and after the withdraws I was happier. I will say caffeine is a very addictive legal drug. 

This is a pic of the 6 packs 710 ml bottles I used to go through 2 6 packs a day  I was defiantly a popaholic

A dozen cans, could also be ginger ale or root beer, would last me a couple of years!

It's not the best thing to be drinking anyway.

The regular probably contributes to stomach issues and/or diabetes risk and the diet contains chemicals now linked to cancer.

I love regular coke but I might as well be necking toilet cleaner. I used to drink 2 litres of diet every day back at college. Gross.

What about energy drinks? When I used to work nights in a grocery store we'd drink them out of sheer boredom eventually because they 'lost their effects after repeated exposure.' (This was when Mountain Dew AMP came in like 2 litre bottles with the surgeon generals warning not to drink more than 250 ml a day. I'd be murdering 4 litres in 8 hours.)

My Endo said that it is anything with caffeine should be avoided as much as possible. A little bit is ok but excessive amounts can just put the effects of estrogen in the garbage as he put it.

Anything with a colour or taste like that should be avoided!

Does anyone know If grape juice affects hrt? Thinking about just switching to that and drinking only that and water.

If it's natural with no added crap, I severely doubt it unless in massive amounts.
Sugar even from natural sources can be detrimental in high quantities

I doubt it

I think grapefruit  is high in potassium not sure though

Juice has a lot of calories and may trigger hunger instead of suppressing it.  Diet soda messes with all sorts of things.  I only drink pure water, the exception is coffee.

Two days after GCS this January I had the worst headache from caffeine withdrawal.  Surgery pain meds weren't enough to mask the caffeine headache, my forehead hurt more than anything on my body.  I did the math and realized I had been drinking three 16 ounce (500ml) drip coffees per day for several years, equivalent to 8 "servings."  I haven't had coffee since then.  Might re-start after all my surgeries are done but probably need to be more careful.
