Is CARBONATED WATER Bad? (5 Myths & 1 Truth about Sparkling Water)

Dr. Ken Berry - The Proper Human Diet & Ancestral Health

Summary

As health-conscious consumers increasingly turn away from sugary soft drinks and fruit juices, many are opting for carbonated water as a healthier alternative. Dr. Ken Berry, a family physician, addresses common myths surrounding sparkling water, asserting that it can be a beneficial choice for hydration without significant negative health effects.

Dr. Berry debunks several misconceptions, including the belief that carbonated water causes tooth decay or worsens irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. He emphasizes that the acidity of carbonated water is minimal compared to the natural acidity of the stomach, and there is no evidence linking it to increased risks of heartburn or weakened bones. Additionally, he clarifies that drinking carbonated water does not contribute to stomach ulcers.

However, Dr. Berry notes a potential concern regarding ghrelin, a hunger hormone, which may be elevated by carbonated water based on rodent studies. He suggests that individuals might experiment with their own diets to determine if they experience increased hunger from consuming carbonated beverages. Ultimately, he warns that the real health risks come from added ingredients in flavored carbonated waters, such as sugars and fruit juices, rather than the carbonated water itself.
