Soda water, safe?

A: You are going to hate me! Unfortunately, although soda water is considered the ‘healthier’ of the carbonated drinks, it is still CARBONATED! yucky. This makes it a ‘no no’ on my list i’m afraid!
Carbonated drinks tend to lean towards acidic, so if your PH is already out of whack this beverage will only magnify the problem (especially when consumed in excess), the bubbles also mess with your gut, they cause gas and bloating although some studies have found that it actually helps with digestion, I have never found this to be true! They often have added sodium as well, which is never good for your blood pressure and increases water retention. On the plus side, soda water does not have added sugar! This makes me slightly happier.
