Is carbonated water healthier than still water?
There’s no evidence that carbonated water is better or worse for you than non-carbonated water. However, when some people consume carbonated water, their digestion is better.
That could be because:
Carbonic acid could buffer the pH
It acidifies the digestive system
Below a pH of 7, things are more acidic. Because the stomach has the lowest pH of any part of the body, carbonic acid – being a weak acid – might be better than regular water for some people.
Types of carbonated water:
Seltzer water – no minerals, carbonated
Club soda – minerals, carbonated
Tonic water – quinine, carbonated
