Kate Ng reported in Yahoo! Life in 2025 that there are marked advantages in drinking non-sweetened sodas rather than sugar-infused sodas, while she also examined some soda myths.
• Can sparkling water help you lose weight? In that report, she quoted Prof. Frayn who stated that one way in which fizzy drinks contribute to weight loss is “through the effects on feelings of fullness.”
• Does sparkling water erode tooth enamel? She quotes a dental nurse, Carolyn Brampton, who said: “There have been saturation tests comparing sparkling water and regular water on teeth erosion and surprisingly the erosion levels were actually very similar.”
She also noted that soda CAN become corrosive if mixed with sugars. Point taken.
• Can sparkling water increase your risk of kidney stones?
According to Ms Ng, “sparkling mineral water that comes from underground springs is believed by some to cause kidney stones.” This could be so with some sparkling water which could contain up to 200 times the calcium of regular mineralized water.
She further warns: “scientists warned that patients with kidney stone disease ‘should be aware that the mineral content of water may influence stone formation’”.
By carbonating your own water with Rio Soda, you control the calcium levels!
• Can sparkling water cause heartburn?
Heartburn has nothing to do with the heart. It is, in reality, esophagus burn, that is, acid reflux, when acid moves past the esophagus sphincter to the esophagus. Most people with this problem will experience it with or without soda. Personally, I find that my carbonated beverages help to calm my acid reflux. But that is not the experience of everyone. And if you are VERY prone to acid reflux, you may want to avoid any soda as the bubbles may move some acid to the esophagus, according to the National Health Service.
