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

Financial Highlights:

* Sales increased 34% to $20.4 million.
* Gross profit was 21% of sales during 2010, as compared to 24% in 2009, reflecting start up costs incurred during the period.
* Operating expenses were about the same in 2010, compared to 2009.
* Modified EBITDA was $456,000 in 2010, as compared to a modified EBITDA loss of $306,000 in 2009.
* Net loss for 2010 narrowed to $1,310,000, or $0.14 per share, from $2,559,000 in 2009.
* Working capital at December 31, 2010 was $1.8 million, as compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2009.
* Cash availability was $1.1 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2009.

“We are cautiously exuberant with our results for the year,” stated Chris Reed, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Reed’s, Inc. “Our growth has been the result of a lot of hard work developing the channels for our excellent brands.” Mr. Reed added, “Our strategy of diversifying with private label production is serving to fill production capacity as well as advance our branded business. We have increased our capabilities, since we are constantly developing formulas, brands and packaging. As a result, we have some new branded products in the pipeline for 2011 that are exciting and unique.”

James Linesch, Reed’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our 34% sales growth was driven by an over 17% increase in our branded business. Margins for our branded business held constant overall in 2010, as compared to 2009, despite certain raw materials cost increases. Our second half 2010 margins were negatively impacted by start-up costs on our private-label business and, to a lesser extent; on product rollout costs on our new ZERO line. ” Mr. Linesch added, “During 2010, our cash flow loss from operations was about $130,000. We also used $696,000 to build up inventory and increase accounts receivable, with our expanded base of business. We invested $383,000 in our plant. To fund our expansion, we sold $555,000 of stock and increased our borrowings by $417,000. We are currently well capitalized to execute our 2011 plans, as we look forward to another year of rapid growth.”

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!
