Recipe of the Day
Although there is growing awareness of the negative health effects of sugary soda, the possibility that soft drinks can increase your risk for serious illness from COVID-19 is sure to get a lot of attention. Is is true?
Some people are pointing their fingers. According to this article on healthiguide.com, the Mexican government’s COVID-19 czar blames Mexico’s high consumption of soda for coronavirus deaths. He cites soda for the presence of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure in Mexico’s population — all pre-existing conditions that may lead to COVID complications and deaths.
And the last point about pre-existing conditions probably is the most important. One thing that we’ve learned about this virus over the last year is that co-morbid or pre-existing conditions are — in addition to age — primary factors in whether a person who contracts COVID-19 gets seriously ill, is hospitalized or dies. As our site has noted in the past, sugar-laden drinks have been linked to a variety of conditions that are on the short list for conditions that can increase your risk for falling seriously ill from COVID-19. They include:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- And cancer
In many ways, one of the best defenses against the corona virus is being as healthy as possible. And what you consume plays a big part in how healthy you are, and soda — laden with sugar and containing no nutritional value — would not be considered part of a healthy diet.
Because of the addictive nature of the soda sugar high, in the age of COVID-19 it can be more critical than ever that you kick that habit. Syfo can help you make a real change to a healthier you. Syfo Original Seltzer and delicious Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters taste great and contain no sugar, sodium, preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Making the switch to Syfo from any kind of soft drink has helped thousands of our customers lead healthier lives without having to give up the fun! Check out some of our customer testimonials.

Herbs are not just for flavoring foods. For those of you that are frequent visitors to our recipe section, there are plenty of great sparkling water beverage recipes that are enlivened by herbs.
According to this article on ProvidenceJournal.com, many of these herbs are easy to grow in the ground or in pots, or they are available fresh at farmer’s markets and grocery stores. Peppermint, for example, which grows profusely in most climates and needs little attention and is included in many beverage recipes, and it also enhances lemonade, tea, water, fruit drinks and more.
Gardenknowhow.com pointed to spearmint as the “mint of choice” for mint julips, made popular by the Kentucky Derby (postponed from May to Sept. 5 because of COVID-19).
Other gardenknowhow.com herb suggestions for libations or mocktails include:
‒ Lemon verbena to spruce up sangria.
‒ English lavender with sparkling water with a simple syrup or honey.
One refreshing summer recipe that fits nicely in the Syfo family of recipes was featured last March in Town and Country magazine: The Cucumber-Mint Cooler has one small cucumber, cut into thin rounds; one 2-inch knob of ginger, peeled and cut into thin slices; four sprigs mint (of choice); two lime wedges; 2 ounces of Ketel One Botanical Cucumber & Mint Vodka (or not) and 6 ounces of sparkling water.
Several of Taste of Home’s “23 Infused Water Ideas That Will Make You Forget About Soda” include some sort of mint, while the Juicy Citrus Herb recipe features fresh rosemary and another, Green Goddess, is made with fresh thyme. Our own Sparkling Cojito Cocktail calls for one bunch of fresh mint plus sprigs for garnish.
While some drinks are flavored with whole herb sprigs or leaves, others require that herbs be muddled. Gardeningknowhow.com informed: “Muddling is where you crush the herb leaves in a mortar and pestle to release flavor. The herbs are then added to the shaker with all the other ingredients.”
So grow that garden, muddle those herbs and kick back to enjoy the pleasures of summer and home with delicious sparkling water beverages during this challenging of all summers.

The approach of Hurricane Isaias is reminding us that the 2020 hurricane season is just getting into full swing. For this storm and others that may come our way before the season is over, it’s important to be prepared and ready to keep you and your family safe.
Part of that preparation is ensuring that you have plenty of non-perishable food, water and other healthy beverages on hand. Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are great to have in supply in addition to water because they’re purified, taste terrific and keep you hydrated, unlike soda and some other sweetened drinks. But because products often sell out when a storm approaches, be sure to always have plenty of Syfo on hand.
Of course there are other steps you’ll need to take to keep you and your family safe for the 2014 hurricane season. Click here to read informative hurricane preparedness tips on Ready.gov and be sure to to stay tuned to your local news outlets and weather forecasts as storms approach.
