Tea Time: The Seltzer Craze

5/16/2018

0 Comments

 
  • Different kinds of carbonated water (water infused with carbon dioxide under pressure)
    • sparkling mineral water (naturally occurring) - like Perrier (pH 5.5) or San Pellegrino (pH 7.7)
    • seltzer water (made with CO2 cartridges like a Soda Stream creating an acidic pH of 3-4)
    • club soda - has salts added to neutralize pH
    • soda water - sometimes means seltzer, sometimes means club soda
    • tonic water - not water but a sweetened soft drink, used most commonly with gin
  • Pros
    • promotes hydration
    • no sugar, usually
    • might help with fullness (temporarily)
    • might help with swallowing/persistent throat clearing
    • might help with constipation
    • acidic foods/drinks do not affect the pH balance of your body
  • Cons
    • carbonation can cause bloating, which might be a problem for people with IBS
    • effect on tooth enamel is unclear
      • studies show more damage than water, but many times less than sugary drinks (carbonated or not)
      • unsweetened is probably fine, but drink with a meal or rinse your mouth after to be safe
      • or buy pH papers and test your carbonated water
  • Carbonated Water and Bone Health
    • No effect on bone health
    • studies on sweetened carbonated drinks (colas) which contain phosphorus show bone loss (also d/t replacement of milk in diet)
