Is Talking Rain carbonated water bad for your teeth?
The carbonation in fizzy drinks creates carbonic acid, a weak acid that can theoretically put wear and tear on tooth enamel. However, this acid isn't nearly as strong as, say, the citric acid in fruit juice, so it's not really something to worry about.
Is Carbonated water ok to drink during pregnancy?
Hi Everyone, I am currently going through a miscarriage. I hate drinking normal water so I drink carbonated water. I recently read that the carbonated water that is in soda can bind with calcium which your baby really needs. Could this have caused my miscarriage? I just want to know for next time so I don't make the same mistake again. Thank you. Annie
Does drinking large amounts of carbonated water harm you?
Mainly no, but possibly yes.Let me explain.Drinking carbonated water makes it more probably that you won't drink water that was fluoridated too - and that's where the cavity myth comes from. But being a myth, by definition, it's not actually true.So it has no bearing on your tooth enamel status.On the other hand, drinking too much water - and 3 liters is close to too much (depending on weight) - can be harmful due to the effect called Hyponatremia, basically over-diluting the salt(s) in your system. Besides the above, and concerning carbonated water particularly (as well as any other carbonated drink), one can get increased pressure in one's abdomen, which is bad for circulatory reasons that can lead to a heart attack.

Have you given up carbonated beverages? If yes, why specifically? Do you have a health reason too?
I haven’t given them up entirely, but I’ve started reducing how much of it I have every day. Back in the day, my consumption rate would allow me to down a two-liter bottle of soda over the course of one day. Now, I only allow myself two cans of soda and am considering no longer purchasing two-liter bottles, since they encourage over-consumption.The main reason is because of all the sugar that’s in soda. Diabetes runs in both sides of my family, so there’s an increased chance that I’ll end up developing it at some point. By lowering my daily intake of soda, I’m reducing the amount of sugar in my body, which can help me avoid potentially becoming diabetic.Will I ever give it up entirely? Probably not. I like sweet bubbly too much.A2A for Cynthia Dobson
I want to know the affect of red bull(energy drinks) in bone density?
Exactly as caffeine, etc., make one lose fluids more readily (called a diuretic), caffeine, etc., can make a body lose minerals along with those fluids. Thus, calcium that should be staying in the body can be lost because the body is losing fluids in general. However, there isn't a mechanism in those stimulants that is specific to calcium loss.
