Sparkling Water, Ingredients and Dental Health
The contents of your glass matter more than the bubbles alone.
What is in the drink?
Plain sparkling water and a sugary carbonated soft drink are not nutritionally equivalent. Added sugar and certain acids in flavored beverages can affect dental health; drinking habits also make a difference.
A sensible middle ground
Plain sparkling water can be part of a balanced hydration routine. If you drink acidic or sweetened beverages regularly, discuss dental care with your dentist and consider having those drinks with meals.
Choose your ingredients
With Rio Soda, you can choose the water and flavorings you use. Plain water is the simplest option; fruit juice and syrups add sugars, even when the ingredients are natural.
