Is Carbonation bad for your health?

Question

Like I am drinking carbonated water, is it bad for you?

Answer 1

If you mean water that contains noting but carbon dioxide then the answer is no, there is absolutely noting wrong with it.  Sparkling water is one of my personal favorite drinks.  Some types of carbonated water such as club soda contain quite a lot of salt such as sodium sulfate that isn't good for you.  Any carbonated beverage that contains phosphoric acid is not good as the phosphate will rob you body of calcium.

Answer 2

carbonation itself has no adverse effects on the human body.  it does not effect nutrient absorption or utilization in any way.

Answer 3

The human body wasn't built for carbonated drinks. I don't know if there are long time ill effects, but it will give you a lot of gas.
