fizzy water

[ems27]

I drink gallons of it but have been told it's bad for me. Is that true ?

OF CORSE IT'S NOT BAD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! people might asume that because it contains carbondyoxide like fizzy drinks e.g coke. but dont worry it's perfictally natrual and did you know fizzy water is not man made, as in it's not people putting the fiz into it, it it acctually a natrual substance from caves etc!

It's perfectly harmless, ems. But Gail_Snail isn't quite correct. You can get naturally fizzy water and carbonated. You need to check the label on what you're drinking. It should read 'naturally sparkling'.

Just check that it's not a cheap fizzy water that contains phosphoric acid, which has been shown to affect calcium metabolism and reduce bone mass. If it is, you simply need to increase your calcium intake.

I also heard that the carbon dioxide in spring water kills any nasty bugs that may be present

In carbonated spring water, obviously...

Drinking gallons per day is bad for you whether it is carbonated or not.
