Health benefits of Tonic Water

[Booldawg]

Are there any? I like to drink a neat tonic water with a slice of lemon/lime in the evening.I know it contains qunine but as malaria isnt too much of a problem in England are there any other useful minerals in there?

There are no other useful ingredients. There are reports that it may help reduce muscular spasms caused by neurological problems, but that this would require the consumption of several litres per day! The amount of quinine present in today's drink is only a fraction of what it was originally, and is no longer enough to overcome the symptoms of malaria.
