Carbonated water is a refreshing beverage and a good alternative to sugary soft drinks.

However, concerns have been raised that it may be bad for your health.

This article takes a detailed look at the health effects of carbonated water.

What is Carbonated Water?

Carbonated water is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure.

This produces a bubbly drink that’s also known as sparkling water, club soda, soda water, seltzer water and fizzy water.

With the exception of seltzer water, they usually have salt added to improve the taste. Sometimes small amounts of other minerals are included.

Natural sparkling mineral waters, such as Perrier and San Pellegrino, are different.

These waters are captured naturally from a mineral spring, and tend to contain minerals and sulfur compounds. These waters are often carbonated as well.

Tonic water is a form of carbonated water that contains a bitter compound called quinine, along with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.

Bottom Line: Carbonated water is created by combining water with carbon dioxide under pressure. Sodium and other minerals are often added.
