Today we’re going to answer the question, “is carbonated water healthier than non-carbonated water?”

I could find no evidence that carbonated water is better or worse for you than non-carbonated water. However, when I consume carbonated water, my digestion is better.

It could be because:

• Carbonic acid could buffer the pH

• It acidifies the digestive system

Bottled water pH — 7

Perrier pH — 5.5-5.8

Coca Cola pH — 2.5

Battery acid pH — 1.0

When you go below 7, things are more acidic. Because the stomach has the lowest pH of any part of the body, carbonic acid being a weak acid, might be better than regular water for some people.

Types of carbonated water:

Seltzer water — no minerals, carbonated

Club soda — minerals, carbonated

Tonic water — Quinine, carbonated

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Today we're going to answer the question, is carbonated water actually better or
0:48.7	healthier for you than non-carbonated water? Well, through an extensive search, I could find no evidence, no studies, if it's
0:58.2	better or worse. All I know is that when I consume carbon or water, my digestion is better.
1:04.6	And it could be because carbonic acid could buffer the pH in a certain way.
1:09.6	It could be because it's a weak acid and it acidifies the digestive system.
1:15.0	And if you make something more acid, you're going to absorb more minerals,
1:18.0	you're going to digest a little better with the protein,
1:21.0	but there's not really any objective proof other than people just saying, I like carbonated
1:25.4	water better.
1:26.4	If we take a look at bottled water, there's a pH of seven that's just neutral.
1:32.4	Perrier has a pH of 5.5 to 5.8.
1:38.0	So when you go below 7 things are more acidic.
1:42.4	And if you go from a 7 to a 6 just by one whole number, 6 is 10 times more
1:48.8	acid than 7. So 5.5 to 5.8 is acidic.
1:52.8	But let's take a look at Coca-Cola, which has a pH of 2.5.
1:57.1	Very acidic.
1:58.2	If you think about stomach acid, that's one to three.
2:02.4	That's very, very acidic.
2:04.0	And battery acid is 1.0, extremely acidic.
