Soda water is characterized by a fine, slightly sour taste. The tap water is partially carbonated by the addition of carbon dioxide CO2. The tingling and the PH value ensure a unique feeling in the mouth and a clear refreshing effect. Soda water is not just a soft drink. Is soda water healthy? Let’s dig deeper and hopefully get a “clear” answer on the topic.

Lower cholesterol
A study by the Journal of Nutrition shows that soda water can lower cholesterol levels. The study found that cholesterol levels could be lowered when consuming sodium rich soda water.

There is no known study that suggests a link between bone density and soda water. So we should not be worried about it at least for now.

Sodas also are very addictive in nature so if you are currently consuming sodas you need to make sure that you are consuming it in moderation. Some people refer to soda addiction to be as bad as smoking.

In some parts of the world sodas are very expensive, if you are living in that part of the world then consuming sodas daily might put a dent in your wallet sooner or later. Make sure to budget if you are looking to add more sodas into your life.

Sodas will also mess up your teeth if you go overboard with it. Soda has a tendency to make the protective barriers on the teeth weaker and that is bad news if you are looking to keep your smile flawless.
