5.0 out of 5 stars What GABA does, a man-eating plant, HD dreams, and a bad trip., July 31, 2009
This review is from: Jones Soda GABA Grapefruit, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
Since the selling point for this soda appears to be the inclusion of GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid, to improve "mental performance, focus and clarity", e.g., for its effect on the brain, my first step was to search the scientific and patent literature to see what is known about GABA. It seems that GABA is cited for the treatment of a large list of human ailments.

My findings remind me of a story told in the patent profession. An inventor seeks the services of a patent attorney to obtain a United States patent on his new magic elixir. The attorney asks "What is it good for?" The inventor says "It will cure any disease that you have." The attorney informs him that the US Patent Office will reject such claims, that in order to be patentable the elixir must have a specific utility. "However" says the attorney, "I keep a potted plant in my office for just such a problem. We will pour the elixir on the plant. If the plant lives, you have invented a fertilizer. If the plant dies, we will claim the invention as an herbicide."

In the case of GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid, apparently the plant lived. There is a patent, US 5,439,873 titled "Method for stimulating plant growth using GABA." In fact my search has found 1470 issued US patents in which GABA appears. Of these, almost half, 655, also include the words treatment or cure. So it is the magic elixir which cures everything and makes your plants grow better too.

GABA does not make you smarter. The literature says that it is a neuro-inhibitor. It turns off some of your brain cell receptors. So if you want to enjoy the magic cure and not fall asleep, why not mix it with coffee? That has been done. See US Patent 6,326,374 "Compositions comprising GABA analogs and caffeine."

I used one can of the GABA soda to perform my own scientific evaluation. First, I poured half of the contents on my potted coleus. The plant has survived so far, but I am keeping my eye on it in case in turns into Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors.

Next, I poured the remaining contents into a glass and drank it before going to bed. My assumption was that since GABA turns off brain receptors, I would get a good night of sleep. I could not have been more wrong.

There was no immediate effect after drinking the soda. However, the effects set in after I fell asleep. I had weird HD dreams in color. Not all of them were pleasant. I go to Colorado to scramble up mountain peaks in snow and lightening storms to experience that exhilarating imminent death sensation. Why go to all that trouble when you can get it out of a can?

A subsequent web search combining the terms "GABA" and "dreams" found several commentaries by people who had ingested quantities of several grams of GABA just to induce such dreams. Here, I had it in just half a can of juice containing only 75 mg of GABA. My rating of five stars is for the entertainment value. Your results may vary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jones GABA Rocks!!!, May 15, 2009
This review is from: Jones Soda GABA Grapefruit, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
I really love the taste of the Jones GABA drinks! They are a tea-based drink that does not have that "Vitamin taste" that other beverages have. Lemon Honey is my favorite flavor, but they are all very good. This is a great price with free shipping on a brand new drink that is hard to find in stores...very convenient to order via Amazon.
