The phosphorous contained in any carbonated drink raises the phosphorous levels in your body, which in turn, automatically begins a process of returning it to normal levels (in your body) but in order to do that it needs calcium, so unless you take calcium supplements every time you have a carbonated drink, your body extracts the calcium from itself: your bones. Specifically your cheek and pelvic bones. So i’m gonna stick to non-carbonated water cause it definitely is safer.
i already knew everything in this video… I was hoping to learn about the extent to which there are negative effects of carbonated water.
Its minerals burden the kidneys, and form little stones that may clog kidneys painfully. Called “kidney stones”.
San Pellegrino makes me feel happy I think it must do something fundamental to my body as well. maybe activate a latent Italian gene and turn me into a footballing genius?
“As a species, we love…”
It should be “most of us”..
I don’t drink carbonated drinks.
why would carbonated water be acidic? its just water with c02 in it. unless there adding flavors and sugar
So all dark cola’s are d’the ones to watçh out for, not the light fizzî drinks. “0′ tey bûd. More beer peas. More orlinge and lemonaid peas. Fhanks howl do I getéd rid of ma fûr ball problem, I’d only get it when I drink coffeé pàl.
Read that the plan carbonated waters without sweeteners actually makes you full, but the sparkling waters with added sweeteners creates hunger.
So that means ima gain weight from that ice sparkling water? I don’t eat as very much anyway?
I do intermittent fastening so I had to come make sure my sparkling ice was ok to drink while fastening. Although I shoulda looked this up before I brought 2 cases
#Spidey
Drinking carbonated water also makes you feel more full, helping you eat less. That’s healthier than battery acid for sure
I used the Apera Instruments AI209 PH20 Value Waterproof pH Pocket Tester, ±0.1 pH Accuracy, 0-14.0 pH Range, Complete Kit, ordered it on Amazon. It comes complete with calibration solutions too.
1:13 “phosphorous” (like “phosphoric”) is an adjective derived from the noun “phosphorus”, which is the actual name of the element. Such adjectives are used in chemistry to refer to cations of the corresponding element.
i’ll just stick with tea and let the tannic acid do its work on my teeth.
Again debunking a “myth” that literally nobody has. I swear I had NEVER heard of this before.
it helps my stomach when i have indegestion and settles it… i drink both sparkling and non…if you add sweetners there’s your problem… they are not telling you how much they gave those poor little things to come to that conclusion…
Yeah but the carbonated water alone doesn’t cause the weight gain! Use some self restraint!
Every single carbonated beverage I have tastes makes me instantly feel like I’m gonna puke
Carbonated water is not bad for you. It’s the ones that have sugar and artificial sweeteners.
The sparklingly water I have has “natural flavour” in it. Is that enough to break a fast?
Do they contain too much phosphorus?? Or aluminum?? To create kidney problems??
Sparkling water is extremely good for my health. After paying for the copious amounts that I drink, I have no money left for soda, cake or candy.
All Bullshit! It’s just water with a bit of gas FFs…How is that going to make you gain weight? Fuckin Dopes!
0-calories 0-sugar water enhancers are alright. Really indifferent if it’s healthy or not, rather does it taste good.
I avoid processed foods and drinks work phosphoric acid in it. Have been for 15 years.
Great video, nice that you tested these commercial drinks. I make my own soda water by filtering what comes from the tap, chilling it, then charging it with a SodaSparkle thing. Works well, I prefer to drink it plain but sometimes add a few drops of flavoring to a glass. My teeth are porcelain so no erosion issues here.
Thank you for dispelling the ‘dangers of soda water’. Alarmists are like buses there’s another just around the corner!
What a load of crap. America. They sure dont want you to eat and drink healthy.
I mix sparkling water with a organic orange or blackcurrant cordial and I LOVE IT!
Phosphorus is add to even out the drink due to all the added sugar. Ok then why don’t they just add less sugar
at first taste I thought it has weird taste… but not anymore
The truth that Big Soda didn’t want you to hear until they completed their acquisition of every sparkling water manufacturer and the patent to the process.
I always thought it was citric acid in soda that affected your teeth.
Yup I always reach for something carbonated when the stomach has issues. I’ll buy some tonic water and give it a go.
‘.. crystallize in the bladder and cause kidney stones.’?!
Please read up on the wonderful journey of these amazing stones…. THAT FORM IN THE KIDNEYS!
Too much anything is a problem sir. That general statement is becoming superfluous
Does your recommendation apply to the popular flavored sparkling cans of water in the market now like “La Croix” brand?
Love your work. Note: When you write on board with that pen it does not show. Thanks
Actually it’s like water with soda bubbles think if it a tasteless coke
no guys its the fucking burgers and pizza not the sparkling water
There will always be bad facts about anything these days. I bet theres bad facts about broccoli if you youtube it.
So that means drinks like sprite or fanta should not be a huge problem only the sugar in them buy not much else.
I just yesterday thought of this since I drink over 1.5l of bubbly water a day
And here I am physically unable to drink carbonated anything cuz it just *hurts too fricking much*. Imagine pouring lava into your mouth.
I think it’s true when I drink zevia and I want to eat. So now I drink water and my appetite is more in control
Dr. Berg doesn’t discuss the different types of carbonation. One comes in liquid form, and is typically put in line with syrup dispensers for soda, like Coca Cola, also carbonating beer. The other form, like you find in S. Pellegrino, is pure carbon dioxide, imagine taking a chip of dry ice, which goes directly from a solid to a gas, thus dry, and putting it in a bottle you want to carbonate. Carbonic acid is much more stable. Mineral water carbonated with carbon dioxide is much less srable. (But, I have long been dubious of the health fulness of carbonic acid, and I just prefer the carbon dioxide carbonization).i would direct this to Dr. Berg, but he never replies, I am not sure he reads comments, so I addressed him in 3rd person.
I use to drink tonic water all the time and it would make me start spotting. Do you know why that happens?
So let me get this right… she said, add juice to your water.. what’s the difference between the little bitty teeny tiny bit of sugar from juice and the teeny tiny little bit of sugar in say, the Wild Berry Nestle’s Splash I’m drinking right now.. especially if both have sugar?
I was told once that carbonated anything suppressed the immune system for a short time after ingested…?
I hear quinine is poison.
When I drink carbonated water, I get hospitalizing stomach cramps(im a man).
that one tuft of hair hanging down brings me to the realization that mr. green is actually a person and not just some precoded hologram that exclusively says interesting and funny things.
I used to drink cola all day, every day until I had several health problems. I quit by drinking flavored seltzer water instead. I lost alot of weight and some of my illnesses went away within a couple years. I still enjoy a cherry Pepsi on occasion, just not daily. But as you get older, you either develop some self discipline or you die. Occasionally is better than never, right?
Now I just have to quit my coffee habit…
Great drink on it’s own. Sometimes I like to jazz it up a bit with lime and sea salt. It’s called a lime sour. 1 juced medium lime to one ltr carbonated water. Salt to taste.
Combine in 1pt or 500 ml measuring cup lime and salt. agitate until salt dissolves. Add to soda water. Enjoy!
I feel this man is business man or getting money from some agency. So bad for ur income ur misguiding people. There is big mafia to sell such products. Be careful!
It is great the Pellegrino works like magic!! It HELPS MY TUMMY
i prefer seltzer water over soda. too much sugar and it tastes nasty. i only drink seltzer water, milk and regular water, also orange juice, too sugary but i guess i aught to add water to it, to dilute it.
The real question is which sparkling water tastes the best? Perrier? San Pellegrino? La Croix? We all know they’re not all the same.
So mountain dew sprite lift monster is nowhere near as bad a cola?
I don’t know what kind of psycho doesn’t add a little taste like lemonade to pure, spiky water, and drinks it
sparkling water maybe cause virus in your stomach or gastrit if you drink it every day
I had a geometry teacher in the 10th grade who was virulently against all carbonated beverages and would spout all sorts of nonsense about them. His favorite was that carbonated beverages caused us to absorb excessive carbon which had to be neutralized by calcium from our bones. Needless to say, he was a quack. He had plenty of bad personality traits (staunch conservative who would shame the lgbt community frequently, but never directed enough towards a single person to get him fired) but to me, as he was a teacher, his false claims about the world frustrated me most.
4:32, “Personally, I think it’s gross”. What a ridiculous comment.
S Pellegrino with Lime and Stevia. But I am worried about this acidic thing. Why we want to take anything acidic. Neutral water is better
I think i will switch to carbonated mineral water….because all we look for is that throat burn when we drink a soda..carbonated water does the same ♂️
Unflavored spring sparkling water is leagues above regular water
Not brilliant. Please stick to the subject, carbonated water, not phosphorylated water.
I literally have kidney stones right now. In about three days I’m going to get a second CAT scan because the stone is stuck between my kidney and my bladder. I had about two sodas a day and sometimes three lately. Age 38. I think I’m gonna have soda anymore… This hurts pretty bad. At its worst it is a 9 out of 10 pain
Just ordered 3 cases of Hint flavored sparkling water and 1 case of Ugly flavored sparkling water. Love flavored sparkling water!!!!
Redbull gives you wings!!……… as a Maclaren fan, how the hell did perhaps the worst case of misadvertising ever become their legal slogan!? Takes the pi$$… and tastes like chewed bubblegum… yuk!… Just wish the’d put the coke back in cola.
I drank this and I think I have problems with my stool I have had diahrrea for two weeks now
TopoChico is the best mineral water. Perrier is weak compared to TopoChico
Sooo who’s really going to go from drinking soda/pop to still water flavored with a cucumber??!!!

It has been proven drinking carbonated water is how the government controls your mind.
Perrier sparking water with ice!!!!
I think it’s what they drink in heaven
Since carbonated water is a product of Cellular respiration, it cannot be bad for you.
LEARN TO EDIT YOURSELF AND YOUR CONTENT. THE INFORMATION GETS LOST IN A SOUP OF MONO-TONE READING DIRECTLY FROM A BOOK, C’MON BRO WAHT’REUDOING HERE???

I used to drink 2 litre of sodas (coke sprite fanta) everyday! But when i understood that this could not continue i started drinking carbonated water! It helped me a lot! I enjoy it and afterwards i dont feel bad like with sodas!
I’m a new sparkling water fan! Such a great replacement for soda!
Wait, so they didn’t explain almost anything at all in this video? Thx for the attempt tho
When I feel like drinking none soda I go for sparkling water mixed with Singles go mix on a tall glass. It’s a great replacement.
I always wondered that. Don’t they use co2 gas to make carbonated water? So the question should be is drinking co2 gas healthy?
What is the healthiest tonic water with quinine? I see some of them containing sucralose or sodium saccharin, which aren’t good for gut health.
Sparkling water with fruit will definitely promote weight gain. Cut the fruit!
What a relief.
I like carbonated water because it makes me go BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRP!
Coke and sprite both taste like syrup to me now that I’m drinking flavored water. I used to drink nothing but soda.
Can I drink sparkling water throughout my water fast? Or is regular water a better option for weight loss
I’m glad he didn’t say anything about double IPA, cheers!
I know someone with major bone problems.He was a selzer addict most of his life!
Why we cant never just get a yes or no answer to a yes or no question ♂️
If it doesn’t look like water and it doesn’t taste like water, then maybe it’s not water
I am allergic in carbonated water. And of course I mean the sulfites that they added in sparkling water, sodas and many other foods!
Read this anaphylactic reaction: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29031480 and here is the case report: https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(16)56224-2/pdf
Does carbonated water affect men with BPH? We had a hot week where i drank a lot of sugar free natural drinks. Seems like it increases frequency and urgency.
how does flazerd sparkling WATER hurt your teath its WATER its has 0 CAL
I love the occasional sparkling water with Ribena. A perfect blackcurrant drink made at home at a fraction of the cost.
Sparking water cost 30p for 2 litres. Ribena or Vimto concentrate is about £1.50. Better than Cola!
This channel is good but too much about xorona.Getting bored of it.This video is good though
What about the possibility of the carbonation leaching calcium out of bones? That is the concern that I had heard about carbonated water.
Club soda has only 1 mineral, sodium, that’s why I prefer seltzer water.
One of the most objective videos about sparkling water which is based on science.
My Doctor advice me to drink carbonated water cause it’s helping of reducing my uric acid???!!
Which specific sparkling water do you drink? Just the 2 brands in the video?
These White men couldn’t stand when she was able to get the audiences applause. Were quick to shut her down & hit her with amp to shut her up. Bullshit. Reminds me of working with White men in my field.
I’m pretty amused by the use of the British “fizzy” instead of the American “Seltzer”
But, given that it has a different chemical structure, eg Club Soda, but not mineral water, will it rob the body of minerals, eg magnesium?
N=1 experiment: when I began drinking club soda, and nothing else changed, I had tighter muscles and had to begin stretching more because of muscle tightness.
I love flavoured water and I hate normal water because it’s so plain and have no taste. I hate these people….
Ah, 2013. The war on sugar full hemroids mode. Now we have feminists taking over. TV nutrionists print their degrees on ink jet paper.
Nice video, and thanks for the info.
Curious if you could Test “Recess” Sparkling water too in the future.
When she said flavor your water with cucumber, someone should have dragged her from the set by her hair. LOL
good way to make a video against the cola industry without putting it in the tittle, way to go!
We call “soda” to carbonated water in Argentina.
This is nonsense.
Acidic beverages are what we need. Watch Dr. Berg and get the truth about health and not these company mouthpieces.
Apple cider vinegar, lemon water, mineral water can all seriously improve your entire system and can be had daily.
Use a straw when you drink exposure to acid can eat enamel
Thank you sir, the information that you shared with us was very helpful. I honestly drink seltzer water every day of my life and am in pretty good shape, I feel great.
How about a study over 10 years. These results are like FDA results for Acute not at all Chronic results. I say bullshit on your plastic fantastic studies.
I learned to drink s. Pellegrino! Hehehe it makes me feel full!!
Thanks for your video!!
It provides me some minerals i need!
I heard from another doctor that it releases grennel which increases your appetite
Surely you should’ve given the ‘constipation’ bullet point an ‘X’ since it doesn’t cause constipation? Great video nonetheless.
I can see the headlines that might have been made in the past “phosphoric acid added for stronger teeth”
my dr said to drink tonic water for my leg cramps seems to be working
Jesus Christ everything is bad for our health. We’re all going to die anyways, might as well drink and eat all the good shit we can!
My friend died after drinking sprite and generic motion sickness med. Also heard that someone dies becaus drinking soda and a common cold drug. I would like to know the truth more. When i google what you shouldn’t eat /drink together, all I got is that you shouldn’t eat rice and noodle cz it will make you fat.
Carbonation definitely upsets my stomach and makes me feel sick
Thank you Dr. your videos are always FUN and HELPFUL!! Thank you so, so much!!
If flavored water has 0 calories then it has no sugar stupid
I think my question in a previous video concerning mineral water might have spawned this video..lol no charge Doc
I got a bottle of carbonated water with me right now:)
Haha been binging your videos Doc. Thanks for the tips and info!
Simple Truth (Kroger Brand) Mango Grapefruit is my favorite but also dabbling with LaCroix flavors. All have been rather delightful. I find it strange that I just started into this trend, but the popularity in White Claw and Truly is what actually spiked my interest. I enjoy regular water as well, however.
Carbonated water can give you in time kidney stones but this guy didn’t know it.you’re welcome guy!
Would sparkling water be a better alternative over beer and soda?
Im drinking a bottle now of pellegrino.. and not because i like it, because it was the only drinks i had left in my fridge lmao gotta do groceries later
Surprize I didn’t see the like’s of Canada Dry, Scheppes, or Dannoe tested, but overall much Info to be learned.
Thank you
Hunger is just a lust, anyone trying to loose weight and feel like they’re always constantly hungry try meditating to get rid of the thought of hunger and to help build self control
Seltzer is filtered tap water that is carbonated. Tap water has lots of minerals that vary by location and source, so I disagree. Seltzer has minerals. Club soda has added salt (sodium chloride) for taste as an alcoholic drink mixer that it was originally made for.
I drink about (4) 2-liters daily I NEED to change I have lost so many teeth from soda but it’s so flavorful but I know it’s so damaging
The title of this video should be “what phosphoric acid does to your body” because you seem to talk more about that than anything else.
BS! I’ve been drinking seltzer water while doing intermittent fasting and I’ve lost a ton of weight. It’s all about self control.
great news since I only drink carbonated water, just 3 simple atoms are the keys to my enjoyment. Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I LOVE CARBONATED WATER!!! PLEASE SAY IT AIN’T SOOOOOOO!!!
Adoro la Coca Cola y aunque vea esto no cambio de idea de dejar de tomarla. Mi consuelo es el comentario del chico del comentario de Alemania.
out of my personal experience when i drink it i feel my heart is better and my gut…Perrier is my favorite
I used to drink a lot of soda. I have switched to speaking water… I have lost 54lbs from kicking my sugar addiction.
AHA is the brand I drink. Hydrates like still water.
If water with C2O is bad for you then i wonder how much weight sodas are gonna Gain you and also i wonder how much the sugar and calories fills you up i work as a personal trainer in sweden i have a perfect eating habit and i haven’t gained any weight from carbonated water i still eat the same it doesn’t fill me up it gives my stomach extra c2o which Will make it less hungry and its good if you don’t drink to much carbonated water since its true it can reduce and decrease the Habit and Will make you go down in weight
I drink “ICE SPARKLING WATER LEMON LIME, and it’s only good poured into a glass of ice. At least that’s what I think anyways. I am a type 2 diabetic, I drank coke, then switched to Coke Life, that is really good, but still had alot of sugar and carbs, so tried the Ice sparkling water, and it wasn’t hard to quit the coke, because it tastes so much like a lemon lime type soda, and I found it does fill me up, where I don’t eat as much, so message numbers have came down alot!
I used to drink soda and now I drink La croix, idk what the PH levels are for the specific kind I drink (cranraspberry) but Ik that it’s healthier then soda lol.. And that’s all I was really going for. But great video.
As someone who makes their own carbonated water with tap water and lite salt, it’s weird to hear you talk about carbonated water and acids as if that’s normal to plain carbonated water. Carbonated water implies water and co2, that’s it. There’s no acids, pH should be neutral.
nope nope nope people who are O blood type benefit from carbonated water. these doctors are morons with no nutrition experience cause the first thing a nutritionist will ask you is “WHATS YOUR BLOOD TYPE”
I’m pretty sure I’m the future this will be refuted and it will be found to be bad for us. just drink plain water most of the time and carbonated water when you went a little treat
The sparkling water from Aldi’s don’t make me hungry it takes my hunger away
Duh, if you drink 1 L of water, you gain 1kg of weight (*-*)
I’ve heard increased concerns recently about carbonated water (now 2 years after you released this video), has there been any new evidence to show we should cut back? I’ve heard that it is “shortening our life span” by all means. Sounds ridiculous, but I’d love an educated opinion.
My Youtube search was ‘Sparkling Water vs Still Water Hydration’. I’ve watched several videos and still have no idea how well sparkling water hydrates you in comparison to still water. How is that all of these videos talk about how water affects your BMD, yet all seemingly neglect comparing these waters in regards to their primary function: hydration? Intuitively, I know that I probably shouldn’t reach for a La Croix when I’m on a run or in the gym, but I’d like to understand why.
I tried Water Soda for first time because i thought it has the same taste of Sprite. And it taste very salty.
You’re telling me a conspiracy theory group didn’t understand the science properly. NO!!! Say it ain’t so!
I’ve been putting crystal light in mineral water……. delicious.
I drink my Sprite after shaking the bubbles out…
It tastes tamer and better for me. (*゚▽゚)
I’ve been drinking bubbly but just heard about natural flavoring. Idk if it breaks a fast or if I should even b drinking it at all.
Bullshit… i totally lost drinking this…without even trying….so its nonsense
According to Robt Young PHD in microbiology, in his book the PH Miracle, which is the best holistic read Ive read in 40 yrs, carbonated water is SOOOOO acidic that it doesnt even rate on his charts for the acid \ alkaline ratings for foods n drinks! Thats how BAD carbonated anything is for you! I avoid it like the plague…
I think you should test more samples of each kind to make it more trustworthy
sparkling water is like water but fizzy like soda and has flavors NEW SPRITE 0 CAL AKA BUBLY
Ive started drinking a lot of carbonated water to get over soda. Now when i drink Soda it tastes too sugary for me. I used to love Dr. Pepper but now when i drink it tastes sticky and not as refreshing.
IDK why but recently for the last year I get an upset stomach (gas/air) so badly after drinking anything carbonated and Carbonated water was like… a Guilty Pleasure or whatever since I had given up (or drastically cut down I GUESS) sodas.
More studies by corporate companies!!! Soda and mineral water!! Sugar vs no sugar.!! Sugar bad no sugar is worse!!
I became obese because of sparkling water, so please everyone, stay away. If you enjoy carbonated beverages, they will cause the digits on your scale to skyrocket like Elon musk’s Tesla vehicle.
“Sorry for the long video” most people around made a 10+ minute video without getting to the point so don’t be sorry
La Croix plain or Our Family brand. No plastic bottle. Just can.
I’d say it’s better than soda least they aren’t putting drugs in sparkling water.!
It doesn’t do anything. I love seltzer water. It’s been my go to water for years. No salt, no calories, no sugar or artificial coloring.
My main question is the ones who has flavor. What type of sugar do they have??
Good information to know, as I’ve been drinking plain unflavored carbonated water for years and nothing else. It’s like getting a treat every time I get thirsty. Sometimes I’ll add 100% pure lemon juice to it.
I drink zevia sodas…no sugar and no artificial sweeteners..and it made me have a pot belly ;((
So carbonated water doesn’t lead to weight gain, lack of self control and gluttony leads to weight gain
I get stomach ache from carbonated water. Am I the only one?
Nyc video, I mixed acv and carbonated water and sm pink himalayin salt, it tests great, but is it good for health and weigt loss?
It makes me hungry but I just don’t care what my body tells me
I’m pretty sure volvic water with 0 sugar is just flavoured version of water
To me, it actually helps a LOT with heartburn and bloating. So i guess each person is different.
I read on the internet that ethanol found in whiskey chelates the phosphoric acid thus flushing it out of your system before it can be absorbed. So if you HAVE to have a cola, mix it with whiskey.:P
Carbonated water is dangerous for bones unless you drink very modest amounts!Carbonic acid turns bones into acids!In large amounts anyway!
You’ll find that if you make the switch to carbonated water and then later try a soda, it’s just way too much to take in. So if you’re cutting out the soda and going to sparkling water, give it a week of adjusting and then you’ll find it’s like drinking soda.
Who the heck drinks carbonated WATER? That sounds dreadful ! Carbonated pop, yes of course, but just plain old water with carbonation??
I like it as replacement to soda and also drink with vodka when I’m cutting
Fyi. Tonic water you buy at the store has a ton of sugar in it. Almost the same as cola or any other sugary soft drink.
Obviously an American bias going on. Anyone who has traveled outside the country would know that most foreigners drink carbonated drinks, just not ones with a pound of sugar in them.
Watching the video and drinking “ sparkling ICE “ blueberry/pomegranate
I’m looking to get into sparkling water but I hate the taste any tips?
I’ve never tried carbonated water lol. What throws me off is the smell tbh lmao.
So the carbonated water itself does not do anything. The fact that it might make you eat more or do something else to gain weight is what the answer really is. If you control yourself it won’t do anything except hydrate you.
As someone who prefers fizzy water… I thank you for putting my mind at ease.
Is Carbonated (Sparkling) Water Good or Bad for You? It is no different from 5G and the Flat Earth. In fact, it will cause your penis to shrink!
Great video! I just switched from diet soda to sparkling water. It’s been 3 days and I already feel benefits. Taste like pop to me! That buble stuff tastes like near beer, quite awful!
What’s the point of drinking carbonated water? How about just drink regular water?
I went to Walgreens and their sugar free carbonated water brand is loaded with potassium. Not good.
is Pellegrino water is bad or good for diabetes…… would you please tell me thanks
When I drank only 6-7 gulps of sprite I gained a pound -I liked the bubbly part of it then I went to sparkling water and lost weight
A local store here sale the sparking water cheaper than other stores. $3.99 for 12 cans, or $2.99 for 6 bottle of green bottle brand. I am buying them all the time
“sorry for the long video” haha, 3 minutes! I don’t mind longer videos.
How can you compare soda to that yeah has same stuff but plain soda water taste like crap like a bubble water with aspirin in it make me puke idk how people can drain it but people love weird stuff like wine taste like juice that went bad but people love it but everyones different
watching this while drinking my Wilkins Sparkling Water Lemon flavor.
Thanks this video cleared up a lot of issues i was concerned about.
I’m intermittent fasting and I can tell you, at night I’m drinking about 1.5 liters of Perrier and I don’t feel hungry at all. So to me the bubbles are a good way to stay on the right track.
I find myself wondering if you can’t force your body to feed on its own fat by avoiding overeating…..
Please do a video or mention about flavoured carbonated water. https://youtu.be/gzMjdcpgYTk
Travis has gained weight he looks different. Maybe it’s true sparkling water
Dr. I have pp sugar 199 i just want to know whether i have insulin resistance or not, is there any test for insulin resistance?
I have a question about water softener systems that remove the calcium and magnesium from tap water and replace it by natrium. Is it healthy to drink that soft water or should you stick to original hard water?
The answer is no. If it has no sugar and no calories how can you gain weight?
When i drimk carbonated water it helps me burp and use the bathroom so ig it cleans ur stomach
So you’re not an actual medical doctor. Like if you’re on a flight and someone has a heart attack and they ask if anyone is a doctor, is there anything helpful you could do for the person?
Soda water is fantastic for whenever you have a bubbly craving you need to itch and want to stay away from soda
I add sparkling water to add more fluids to my diet no to replace regular water
Thank you for this!! I’d never heard a defense of bubbly water everything I’d read came from the point of sodas and not bubbly water. This is MUCH appreciated!!!
Can you make a video on lipedema? I’m a male with lipedema ( rare ), I got it from from my Mom’s side. I went years not knowing what was causing it or what I can take to fix it. Most doctors had no idea what the problem was till I was FINALLY referred to a specialist that specializes in lipedema & lymphedema ( different but similar ). In short, I was told to cut red meat, dairy ( low fat diet ) & now my legs rarely swell, fastings also helps. Maybe you can help others with your information & channel. Thank you.
I drink it. I drink plant milk, water, coffee. That’s about it.
I mix Pellegrino and honey when I bike. Best thing ever. Watermelon before and after.
Why did you check CONSTIPATION? Also, carbonated water doesn’t cause heart burn.
I drink Pellegrino and Perrier with fresh lemon, key limes or berries when I want a little carbonation. It is Keto friendly:-). However, I do drink filter water as well and Essentia for bottled water. With Keto, I try to cut out any drink with natural flavors or sugar even if it says 0 calories.
Carbonated water has a few benefits I have experienced: 1) It makes consumption of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice a lot more palatable. 2) Drinking it rapidly when it is very cold does not cause the same “brain freeze” that regular water does. 3) It “tastes” good! 4) The bottles it comes in are stronger than those for regular water, (particularly when the carbonated water is VERY fizzy, like “Buxton” in the UK), so the bottles are easy to reuse several times over.
Started drinking it for fasting, but i found that it was taking my craving for beer away too. I still get the sound of the can, the feel, the guzzle sound and that acquired taste with carbonation
.
im a soda addict. drinking carbonated water is the only way i broke the soda habit
Do “zero” colas have phosphoric acid? I mean they don’t have any sugar to “balance out” but they could add it for other reasons maybe
Seltzer has NOTHING added it is ONLY water and CO2 Only Club Soda and the like have additives do your homework before you preach this guy is full of CRAP! Seltzer is the healthiest thing you can drink next to plain water!
Yes! More reason to keep drinking my effervescent La Croix. Was going to say tasty, but that’s not exactly right.
I’m addicted to Topo Chico!
I think it’s taste the best because it comes in a glass bottle and I drank 12 oz at a time rather than 20 or 16….
Always wondered how the carbonation affected bones and stuff like that…. I drink it and I never drink soda at to me it’s as good as soda or better
Carbonated water or soda is actually worse than non carbonated.
If you regularly take carbonated water then your liver surely get affected and fat digestion will be slow.
Don’t ignore it contains CO2, and CO2 is not good in any way.
It’s literally carbonated water. If you’re drinking this instead of pop you have nothing to worry about
I saw in lot’s of soda water with contains sodium. Is that the “acid” part you talk about?
I notice after i drink the sparkling mineral water it is easier for me to #2, no constipation at all. Topo chico is my go to ;p
I drink carbonated water from my SodaStream all day long. Is the acidity bad for my teeth?
Sparkling water doesn’t increase hunger. It doesn’t make me hungry, another study showed that calories burned are expelled as carbon dioxide though, so maybe drinking carbon dioxide makes you gain weight. I’ve always felt full after drinking carbonated water, and don’t end up eating more in the day. So the study is probably funded by a major soda producer
i ll tell you what it makes you do vomit is what should never have been allowed crime against nature
Don’t listen to this bullshit. Carbonated water is water with carbon dioxide in it……how the fuck is that supposed to make you fat?
hi, Dr Lara, I really appreciate what do you do for the benefit of our health; in this case I would like to know if this sparkling water causes gasses just for it’s content or essence. thanks
I hate it when people tell me that them drinking their daily Diet Coke is the same as me drinking a fizzy water.
I was with you until you said “N.Y. Times”…now uninterested.
Phew…I got nervous seeing this video pop up. I drink La Croix like 5 times a day
How bad eyesight do you have? I see that your glasses are strong. My glasses is so weak that it is like having window glas.
Sparkling water!?! I don’t understand western world it’s just water!!!
Why do you keep on saying artificial carbonated?
Is there such thing as a non-artificial carbonated water?
“When I’m on a plane, I will get a tonic.. without the gin of course.”…. What?!?!
Seltzer water has been my favorite drink since the 70’s. Never liked soda, way too sweet and it left me with an after taste I hated.
love how you felt the need to inform us that you think its gross before you ended the video
FYI: There is apparently ZERO evidence of putting fluoride in tap water and many are still questioning the purpose of it
Daily my dad drink 750ml × 5 kenley soda he have been addicted to soda since he’s type 1 diabetic person is this right any risk is there.
I have an Cabonator and carbonate my own water sweeten it with stevia, and put some of my own juiced ginger in it tastes good, never drink bought carbonated sweet drinks.
The only carbonated water I like is Topo Chico with orange or lime squeezed in. Yummmm….
But this still doesn’t address the primary use of carbonated water, which is showering in it.
The experts probably work for the company’s loosing money 2 the flavored water
I just clicked on this video to see if me chugging gallons of La Croix was gonna give me cancer or make me fat. It won’t and that’s all that matters.
club soda water drinking for health good or bad, & it’s work weight loss..???
Well in my case i rather dribk flavored water instead of soda i mean does anyone got a better idea wat to drink
What about the theory that water with pH above 7 is better (antioxidant)?
They spray meats with a phosphate solution too. It’s a problem for people on dialysis.
White people are funny. She said it contains calories, trust me Dr we in Africa need some of that flavoured water. The sun is burning the calories off me just for watching this.
I love it bc when I am fasting it tends to curb a hunger pain & makes me feel full.
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
Sparkling Water is like the only water I drink…However one of the medicines I take does lower my sense of hunger so it kind of balances I guess.
Hey if you get anxious or hungry or whatever, snack on something healthy and drink some water with lemon trust me you will never gain weight ❤️
Do research on the history of flouride you may find it is not as healthy as you presume.
Useful and surprising research result and data. Now I feel better when I drink carbonated water.
there is no regular water. NYC recycles your urine and fecal matter in water treatment/sewage plants, and sells it back to you in the form of tap water and bottled water. if you want real water, head over to a natural water spring in maine. and what do you mean by sparkling water? there’s seltzer, club soda, sparkling water, carbonated mineral water, naturally carbonated spring water, that is carbonated in certain wells naturally, which i prefer, as it is naturally enriched with minerals, like Apollinaris water.
Great video, thanks for providing great content. I use whichever carbonated water so long as there’s no sodium. But, Pellegrino has 10mg of sodium. So, if I’m buying carbonated water at a resto, I will choose whatever they have in stock. But, if I’m at the supermarket, I go with the Perrier. I also make keto friendly beverages with it like matcha iced tea soda which is delicious.
G&T is my favorite drink (besides water) and I miss it badly! I love the perfect flavor of the ingredients. G&T is my ONLY temptation to break keto -so far, so good, but it’s only been 14 days.
Always wondered why sparkling water helps my stomach… turns out there’s no good reason….. just don’t drink it on top of a sugary diet
What’s ur favorite sparkling water?..
Recently tried VOSS its awesome and comes in a natty glass bottle
Besides acidity level, does carbonate water reduce oxygen level in our blood stream or body that may be harmful or not beneficial?
Thanks for the info. I’ve drinking sparkling water about two years now and I does improve my health overall. It’s very good when fasting.
Look up a simple, old fashioned drink called a shrub. One teaspoon of this added to any water is very low sugar, has lots of flavor and is super good for you.
You literally answered nothing in the title… you did the exact opposite…
A person who doesn’t drink alcohol like me.. sparkling water the best yum yum
i used to hate it the first 29 years of my life until now. I gradually went from sugary sodas -> zero calorie soda -> carbonated water. Drank sugary soda up until 23yrs old, was overweight by a lot.
I don ‘t know why, but if I drink a carbonated beverage about 3 days in a row, I end up with a really bad headache. It could be tyramine-related I guess I’m sensitive to that though you wouldn’t think a beverage would have a lot of amino acids.
Who bought VOSS sparkling water just because of the battle
Offcourse regular non sparkling water will be better to drink. However drinking regular water all the time gets boring.
CARBONATED WATER IS PERFECT FOR WHEN YOU HAVE HEART BURN OR AGITA DRINK IT COLD AND FAST AND YOU WILL BURP THE INDIGESTION OUT IN A FEW MINUTES
Is there an issue with Sanpelligrino Fantasia. These are the flavoured waters.
In Germany if you order water in a restaurant, they bring you sparkling water. For us here it’s rather uncommon to just drink plain water. We even have two options: Medium or classic. It is the intensity of those bubbles.
I love waterloo! ❤️ I’m not used to drinking normal water anymore:(, thank you so much for proving everyone wrong.:)
BUT DRINKING ACIDIC WATER REGULARLY MAY INCREASE YOUR KIDNEYS WORKLOAD, THEY WOULDN’T LAST AS LONG.
as an Australian, I’m confused and thankful that you called it a fizzy drink. we also call it soft drink. don’t y’all call it Soda?
I drank carbonated water every day for one year (500 mL/day). Then my gut started acting strange: constipation, anxiety, sensitivity to caffeine. I removed carbonated water from my diet, and then over the course of 2-3 weeks my gut has returned to normal. I’m wondering if the carbonic acid or natural flavors can interfere with your gut bacteria over time? Decided to just stick with water from now on.
Sparkling water is the best choice no question about that. Soda is just unhealthy and it can lead to rapid weight gain.
Weird how bottled carbonated water is hard to find in the US, at least in supermarkets. Either people drink uncarbonated water or sugary sodas I found.
I don’t exactly have a beach bod, drinking a bit of sparkling water before the beach isn’t going to make much difference ♂️
Bai sparkling is my fav,along this cirok spaelkinf..or polar spring
I always thought that it helps with digestion as it disperses the food better than still water? No?
I like sparkling water better then normal water…
I AM GONNA DIE BECAUSE I DRINK IT SO MUCH 0-0
Tonic water contains the same amount of sugar as Coke. And it tastes awful.
Reason why coke is so acidic, is that it contains phosphoric acid H3PO4. Nice taste, loaded full of sugar, good for cleaning brass & copper and concrete driveways hahhahah. Serious.
Watch out for tonic water. Most brands I’ve seen have lots of sugar. It’s surprising, doesn’t taste sweet.
We really going to ignore that scary face lmao I don’t need to say who’s if I do this joke ain’t for you
Well root beer is the only good brown soda anyways. Side not sparkling water is absolutely horrid right up there with black coffee, mustard and mayo
Thanks for using science to debunk the mzny myths that get passed around Facebook!
I’ve been watching your videos for many months now and just decided to take 5min of my time to let you know that you are great! I love your advice. You are unbiased and go straight to the point with always great content. Keep on doing this excellent work Doctor Berg!
