This article is misleading for several reasons:
* The article describes a guy making sodas from freshly made juice. That changes the entire picture. The headline should be "Making Sodas From Freshly Squeezed Juice (It's Harder Than You Think".
* It's perfectly simple to make natural sodas with cane sugar instead of HFCS — indeed, a lot of smaller soda manufacturers in the US already use cane sugar, including such brands as Fentimans and Jones Soda. In Europe, most sodas, including Coca-Cola, are made with cane sugar, not HFCS.
* You don't have to use fresh-squeezed juice to be "natural". Fentimans, for example, uses spices and fermented juices in their sodas. The original Coca-Cola was a blend of essential oils (lime, orange, coriander, nutmeg etc.), ie. natural ingredients, and it's perfectly feasible to make sodas today using the same ingredients.
