A safer way to get the same taste

I'm talking about sprite. I love the taste of it and I love the taste of pepsi. I was wondering if there was a healthier way to get the same taste. I know they make soda makers so that you can do it yourself but then it's pretty much the same thing. Soda's overseas are more healthy, atleast I believe so because they aren't made with high fructose corn syrup. Soda's made out of a machine would most likely not have it either? or would they? Would you even try to mimic / make your own soda?

I think that it would be interesting to try and make my own soda. I personally think that right now it's more convenient for me to just grab a soda out of the fridge. I have heard about the soda makers. I will have to wait and hear what people think of them. I don't know if there is a way to get the same taste without it being not healthy. I have tried different health drinks and drinking carbonated water but it all ends up tasting gross to me. I too love Pepsi. But I haven't been able to find anything that can come to it that is healthier. If you find something let me know.

There is one brand of soda maker that is supposed to make soda's taste just like the name brands we love. I forget the name of the soda maker, if I can think of it and find some good reviews from it, I'll let you know.

I did try making my own soda.. it is actualy very simple and in another word it is safer because you know the ingredients.. for any drinks that you want it with soda flavour.. buy the cordial.. and mix it with soda water.. That's it..

I am not sure what you mean by "cordial" do you mean the flavored syrup?

I no longer drink sodas due to the high sugar content. Is it eight or sixteen spoonfuls of sugar in a bottle of soda? Something like that. But if I had control on how to make sodas myself then I would love to try this. I hope that you can find out the answer and let us know how to do it. It would be healthier and save money too hopefully
