We’ve said it before and will probably say it a hundred times more: Soda is toxic stuff. Not only is most of it full of diabetes-inducing high-fructose corn syrup, but drinking too much of the bubbly stuff has also been linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It contains genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) and phosphates, preservatives that have been linked to kidney disease and accelerated aging. Obviously, not something you want as part of a regular diet. But at some point, we all crave something fizzy, and that’s no reason to reach for a toxic can of kidney-killing GMO water.

We looked high and low for healthy soda alternatives, free of the worst offenders in traditional sodas, such as GMOs or artificial caramel coloring that can be contaminated with carcinogens. Nor do any of our healthy sodas come bottled in cans, which are normally lined with hormone-disrupting bisphenol A. Some do contain cane sugar, a less-processed sugar that still should be consumed in moderation, and others are flavored with other sweeteners to avoid, but they’re all far better alternatives to what’s lurking in most soda cans. Next time a soda craving strikes, try one of these eight healthy sodas.

Reed’s Light Extra Ginger Brew

Ginger ale, or ginger beer depending on who you’re talking to, is a fantastic home remedy for nausea, upset stomachs, and even sore muscles, but 99 percent of what the big companies pass off as ginger ale contains tons of sugar and little to no real ginger. Not so with Reed’s ginger brews, which contain the most ginger of any brand out there. And the company has just introduced a new “light” variety that, at just 55 calories per bottle, is sweetened with honey and stevia. -Rodale.com

Virgil’s Root Beer

Also from the purists at Reed’s, Virgil’s Root Beer is root beer made the way nature intended, by brewing a combination of herbs and spices naturally, rather than concocting a chemistry experiment of artificial flavorings, dyes, and additives. The ingredients list reads like the gatherings of a world traveler—anise from Spain, vanilla from Madagascar, molasses from the U.S., and balsam oil from Peru—and will get you off that artificial canned stuff forever.  However, good as it is, this soda won’t win you any favors with your waistline. At 160 calories per serving and 42 grams (g) of sugar, make it a weekly indulgence. -Rodale.com

Don’t make that mistake again – it’s not worth it. But get some of your greatest friends together and mix up this bad boy.

Also, the Extra Ginger Brew is packed with 26 grams of ginger. The amazing root is known for curing nausea, headaches and muscle soreness so you are loading up on hangover remedies before it hits. We’ve tested this theory on hundreds of Dark & Stormy’s so we are confident that it’s true. We want you to enjoy Seis de Mayo as much as Cinco de Mayo!

Thanks to Food Porn Daily for the cocktail idea!

There is a mathematical rule that applies to St. Patrick’s Day. The amount of fun you have on March 17th, no matter how infinite, is directly proportionate to how terrible you feel the next morning. But Reed’s Ginger Brew is here to fight this unfortunate rule and get you back to your life.

The properties of ginger have been known throughout history to battle the unfortunate side effects of a long night of drinking: pounding headaches, nausea, and dehydration. Our Ginger Brews are water-brewed from fresh and spicy ginger.  The Extra Ginger Brew has the biggest punch with 17 grams of ginger in each bottle. That is enough to fight any angry Irish hangover.

Ginger has been tested as a natural anti-vomiting action and has been shown to reduces all symptoms associated with motion sickness including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweating. In a double-blind trial, ginger brought about a significant reduction in both the severity of nausea and number of attacks of vomiting in 19 of 27 women in early pregnancy. If it can combat morning sickness it can combat the 4 Irish Car-Bombs your stomach is regretting this morning.

And you’ll probably remember your mother recommending a carbonated ginger ale for your tummy ache as a kid. The rule still applies (sort of) to nausea. The carbonation breaks up the stomach acid and helps relieve your stomach but grabbing just any carbonated beverage can be dangerous. Most sodas are packed with chemicals and artificial sweeteners and can make symptoms worse. Even most other ginger sodas don’t have fresh ginger and won’t do much for relieving your nausea or headache.

Ginger is also an anti-inflammatory which helps relieve the pounding headache that you are experiencing. It eases inflamed blood vessels and stops the unbearable loud noises and yelling.

Reed’s Ginger Brew’s tries to keep the recipe simple with only ginger, fresh spices and sweetened with honey and pineapple juice which are also known to be strong nausea fighting ingredients.

Pick up a 4-pack of Ginger Brews and a bottle of water on your way to the office this morning and you’ll be ready for Margarita’s by Happy Hour.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

The first time you heard the word whispered at the gym or at the doctors office you didn’t know if it was the secret code for an underground weightloss club or the newest pop group your daughter will be listening to. Either way- there was a mysterious excitement whenever someone started talking about it, and they whispered the word like it was too good to be true.

Well – it IS almost too good to be true – but now we are shouting the word. STEVIA! There we said it…

We recently released our diet line of Virgil’s sodas- Virgil’s ZERO. The sodas are as delicious as the original but with no calories and no fat. Stevia is the most natural calorie-free sweetener we have found and is calmer on your digestive system than any other chemical sweeteners, many of which contain neurotoxins which can cause serious damage over time.

History and Fun Facts:

• Stevia is an Amazonian plant that has been used for centuries for it’s “sweet leaves”.
• It was first officially discovered by the Spanish botanist Petrus Jacobus Stevus who gave the plant its name.
• In 1931, the first research on stevia was done by French botanists. They discovered that the plant was 250-300 times sweeter than table sugar.
• The Japanese, always ahead of the curve, have been using stevia as an alternative diet sweetener since the 70′s. Stevia currently makes up 40% of its sweetener market. Not just diet sweeteners but OVERALL – they use as table sugar, cooking and as a beverage sweetener.

Why it’s good for you:

• Stevia, aside from lacking in calories (think the dreaded swimsuit season that is right around the corner) has also been shown to help treat obesity and hypertension.
• Stevia is also great for diabetics, as it actually lowers the amount of glucose in your blood, even increasing glucose tolerance. This makes stevia a perfect sweetener for those with diabetes or people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

• Also, for all you ladies (and some men too) out there, stevia is an excellent sweetener for those at risk for osteoporosis. Stevia helps raise your calcium content as well as strengthen your bones. Which means no more nasty supplements!!
• Stevia also helps ease heartburn, gas, lowers uric levels, and helps your body fight bacteria. All around, this plant is a healthful choice for anyone!

How Reed’s makes use of this nifty plant:

Reed’s has always been committed to providing you with the best tasting AND healthiest ingredients, so it was a natural choice for us to make Stevia the sweetener that we use in our delicious diet products. Whether you’re choosing a diet soda for health reasons, or just for dropping those pesky 5 pounds before you don your itty bitty bikini (or speedo, for that matter), there’s no better choice than a Virgil’s ZERO diet drink.

See you at the beach!

What the heck is Stevia?

The aphrodisiac powers of ginger are supported by philosophy and scientific medical fact, but the stories and legends that are told throughout history prove that ginger can increase lustful yearnings, stimulates sex drive, increases sexual performance, and aids in the feelings of love, lust and attraction.

The history of ginger dates as far back as 500 B.C. in writings from the Chinese philosopher Confucius.  It’s been attributed with having positive physical affects on the sexual relationship.  Aviceena, an Arab physician credited ginger with “increasing lustful yearnings.” Even Greek and Roman medical philosophers Discorides and Pliny in the first century A.D. agreed with the active aphrodisiac powers of the spice, concluding that it had a stimulating affect on the male sex organ. It is even mentioned in the Koran (circa 650 A.D.), the sacred writings of Islam, as being served at feasts in Paradise.

French legend has it that Madame du Barry, who was an official royal mistress to King Louis XV, served ginger to all her lovers, including ‘the beloved’ king. The legend goes that this would drive her men to a state of complete and utter submissiveness. When a truly Vanity Fair-esque rise to society, Madame du Barry inserted herself into the French royal class with her beauty and a slew of successful sexual encounters. Upon her execution from charges of treason, the courtesan was able to arouse her executioners to pause.
Here are a few ways we think ginger can heat up your Valentine’s Day:

Share a steamy ginger soup as an appetizer to get things warmed up:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup minced onion

1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger

3 cups (or more) chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth

4 cups sliced peeled carrots (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup half and half

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup matchstick-size strips peeled carrot (for garnish; optional)

1 tablespoon matchstick-size strips peeled fresh ginger (for garnish; optional)

Preparation

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/4 cup minced ginger and sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups chicken stock and 4 cups sliced carrots. Cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.

Working in batches, puree mixture in blender or processor. Return soup to saucepan. Mix in orange juice, then half and half. Cook over low heat 5 minutes. Mix in ground cinnamon. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing, thinning with more stock if necessary.) Ladle soup into bowls. Top soup with carrot and ginger strips, if desired, and serve.
Mix a sexy ginger cocktail:
