Some of the supposed evidence of red cordial amounts to little more than talkback radio feedback.
In my opinion the benefits of weak red cordial are.
* easier to stay hydrated beacuse you can easiulyie you drink more.
* placebo effect ie if you think its helping it probably is.
The benefits of berry juice apart from keeping you hydrated, and thinking you are better off for taking it, have been proved to have antioxidant properties.
While it proves nothing, I never drink red cordial and never been sick whilst travelling.
