      @@Kube_Dog natural flavoring most the time isn't natural. It isn't really regulated by fda and all a company has to do is start with a a natural flavor then they can add whole bunch of chemical to it. I still consume stuff with it in it because it's better than the alternative of. If you do get it just try to get products where natural flavors is one of the last things listed. That means out of all the ingredients it is one of the least. But deff do research and come to a conclusion on your own. Who I helped in some way.

    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 was informed that carbonated drinks are the worst thing to drink with food because they mess with the stomach acid not unlike taking an alkaseltzer or baking soda to relieve the stomach of its high acidity(something needed for proper digestion).
    So in other words, i was told though they help you to burp & sedate all the craziness going on in the stomach causing you to FEEL better, whats actually happening is that the stomach acid is weakened & no longer able to fully dissolve, digest, & absorb nutrients from the food we eat...
    ....which leads to a world of toxins in the body that lead to a world of disease & chronic illness over extended periods of time. I heard the best time to drink carbonated drinks is after youve given your food time to digest on its own in your stomach acids.(a source: Dr Glidden)

    I have Myasthenia Gravis and have found it easier to swallow carbonated water than regular water. In fact, I can't even swallow regular water without a straw and even that is difficult. Regular water seems thinner and triggers the swallow mechanism sooner thus choking is always a problem for me. Carbonated water, on the other hand, has air bubbles that seem to help aid the swallowing process and allow me better control of my swallowing. I can also burp easier which settles my stomach.

    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.

    I switched to drinking carbonated water so I could stop drinking soda so much. I would drink a can of soda each day because I loved the bubbles and flavor and saw it as a way to reward myself after a long day at work. But I didn't like still feeling thirsty after drinking soda, and feeling bloated all the time! So I tried carbonated water and while I didn't like it at first, I've noticed my need to drink soda has decreased and I don't feel bloated anymore.

    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.

    Thank you for explaining the carbonated water scene! You cleared up a lot of misinformation that I had about it. I now have a couple questions for you. You mentioned that the three types of carbonated water, seltzer, club and tonic, are all artificially carbonated. How does one get naturally carbonated water? Should this be the only type to consume, rather than the artificial kind? Also, if one is going to go with one of the 3 types that you mentioned, would it be best to go with club soda since it has the small amount of minerals and carbonic acid? Summer is arriving and I want to "spike" my plain, flat raspberry iced tea with something that will make it fizzy and fun to drink and not add sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. A big thanks to you and your team for doing these videos. You are helping me to improve my health, vitality and longevity and I really appreciate it!

    I recently had experienced eye twitching for over 6 months, couldnt figure out why so I went to my eye Dr. and after several test he asked me if I drink tonic water... which I do... like it's water. He advised that I stop, most likely it was the quinine in it, so I did and noticed that within 2 weeks the twitching had lessen but after almost 3 weeks it stopped completely... didn't even notice it. So I drank tonic water again just to test out the theory.. and yup it started up again... So needless to say I don't drink tonic water any more.

      @@roseh143 your original question, do carbonated drinks deplete calcium? Calcium can be depleted if there's too much phosphoric acid, and it would depend on how much you are consuming. Not all carbonated drinks have phosphoric acid.
      Also of importance, if a person has kidney disease, or on dialysis, there is low calcium levels as a result of the disease, and avoidance of phosphoric acid in the diet is crucial. Of course this is an extreme example, but consuming carbonated drinks doesn't affect everyone the same. It all depends on amount of consumption, and your individual comorbidities.
