    I very rarely purchase natural sodas because they are too expensive and usually they have some sort of sugar in them and I don't drink anything with sugar.

    I enjoy Izzy on occasion, but very pricey! I buy store brand seltzer and sometimes mix with 100% blueberry or cranberry juice.

    I have canceled all soda from my household...on rare occassions we will have a soda at a resturaunt. What is more sad than how expensive health food is.....Is the fact that we have to search so hard to find the healthy "natural" stuff....Why should we have to read ingreadiants to make sure it's "natural". Natural to me means that it is as close to the way god intended it to be as possible

    I enjoy the taste of natural soda. It tastes so good and it's healthy for you too.

    My favorite soda pop is Squirt. Wish they made it with natural sugar.

    I would love to see artificial ingredients & sweetners removed from the products we consume and soda seems to have such a hold on most people now that it would be great to have a healthier price competitive alternative.

    The all natural Sierra Mist is great. It has such a refreshing taste.

    I'd want one with cane sugar and maybe with natural fruit juices. Our most favorite is Dublin Dr Pepper (cane sugar and SOOOOO tasty). We also enjoy Whole Foods' 365 sodas, Hansen's and Blue Sky, all of which use cane sugar and fruit juices. We have found that the sugar is easy on our tummies, but HFCS sodas are not.
