Hmmm, pretty consistent feedback. This came from one of the folks at Ultima with a new flavor coming:

"We will introduce our new Grape flavor in March. We use the grape skin for color and grape skin is loaded with antioxidants. Also, grape will be our first flavor with real fruit derived vitamin C rather than the buffered C we have been using. These forms are both better than the acidic corn derived ascorbic acid found in Emergen-C."

I addressed the Stevia issue with him, yet he says he would have to use 8 grams of sugar to sweeten which he feels is too much. I don't think that is a lot of sugar considering soda has 29grams, but maybe it is in the sports world.

Thanks for the recipe, I may give that a try!
