I guess this is good news..... they could have gone all the way and used organic sugar.
My husband actually bought a six-pack of this the other day - it tasted MUCH better than the "natural" colas we used to get at the health food store. :) My sister took one drink of it (from a glass, with ice) and said, "Oh, that's healthy." ;)
