Is Carbonated (Sparkling) Water Good or Bad for You?

Carbonated water, also known as sparkling water, club soda, and fizzy water, is a good alternative to sugary soft drinks. However, concerns have been raised that it may be bad for your health... that's what I'm exploring in this video.

Carbonated water helped me loose weight while I was addicted to drinking soda everyday. It was a great substitute.

Sparkling water helped me kick my alcohol addiction. Everytime I felt like drinking a beer, I'd chug a Topo Chico and the tingling sensation from the carbonation would give me the same rush I'd get when I'd chug a beer. It wasn't that easy to quit, but I think sparkling water helped me a lot.

Who is drinking carbonated water while watching this?

Ditched soda for sparkling water, never looked back. I feel gross drinking soda after having a glass at dinner. Love seltzer

[jamesmify]

You know the guy isn't sponsored by any big industry after a comment like, "personally I think it's gross".

People will tell you it's bad for you...while they're drinking their 8th can of Coke 💀

As a kid and young adult I hated sparkling water. Now at 25 I love it. And it's a lot healthier than sugar soda. I just love how it feels when it's ice cold and going down my throat

Most people think that it is gross at first. It is an acquired taste for sure but once you get into it, it is fantastic. I prefer plain over flavored now and even the lime is optional. So much better than drinking soda regular or diet as I used to for years.

I seriously doubt there could be any bad effects of carbonated water.Even if there was, there are thousands of other real things to worry about in life haha

Carbonated water helped me to stop drinking sugary drinks (i love to add lemon)

This was excellent. You pointed out different variables, and gave research, then pointed out a study needed to be studied upon further. Sounds honest and well researched to me.

I had a horrendous Mt dew addiction, and I've replaced that with a soda stream machine to make healthier drinks that are still carbonated. It's a game changer.

"Studies that need to be studied upon further" ...gotta love Youtube. Thanks for the title anyway.

I like this water because it gives me the same throat burn we look for when we drink a soda..thats all we look for. Now i barelly drink soda. I do drink this water alott

Like many people in the comments section, I HATED sparkling water and I couldn’t go a day without having a soda fix, especially Mountain Dew! Ever since I turned 20 I got myself to drink sparkling water to replace soda and I’ve never looked back! I tried drinking Mountain Dew the other day and I nearly gagged, it was way too sweet. I’m glad I made the change!

I'm drinking sparkling water in my Bugatti

[warlordera]

I'm glad it's not bad, my three year old niece has a hard time drinking water but she absolutely loves sparkling water. I figured she would like it because she likes pop and thought she might've liked the bubbliness, she even called it pop for a while. :)
I'm even looking up recipes for it, there's a lot of good looking ones I can't wait to try out.

I'm shocked there's no tate fans here

Good video.




anyways, *what color is your buggati?*

[marcielston]

Well, I'm glad that just because you think it's gross doesn't make it bad for me. I have a hard time keeping hydrated because I don't like plain water and tend not to drink enough especially in the hot summers - but I love fizzy water - so hydration isn't such an issue.
