Three false myths about mineral water

The use of sparkling water has for some time been considered harmful, information that has led many users to give it up.

But what is the truth about this?

In a study published in the weekly magazine Time, five experts were of the opinion that mineral water is healthy enough to consume, and does not pose any risk.

The most important thing that is advised by doctors is to check the label of the water you buy, to make sure that it does not contain salts or sweeteners. But first, see the myths busted by the mineral water study.

Myth 1 – Sparkling water does not hydrate as much as regular water

This was suspected to be true due to the presence of carbon dioxide.

But in fact, carbon dioxide does not prevent the body from hydrating, but on the contrary, after strenuous activity, carbonated water is as effective as natural water in hydrating the body.

Myth 2 – It is bad for teeth and bones

Carbonic acid, formed by combining H2O with CO2, can erode tooth enamel in very high concentrations.

No worries. As long as you don't consume 6 bottles of sparkling water a day, your teeth are safe. And as for the damage to the bones, a study has proven that carbonated water does not affect their mineral density at all.

Myth 3 – Drinking sparkling water makes you gain weight

It's true that drinking water with all those bubbles can cause temporary bloating, but in the long run, sparkling water makes you lose weight.

Researchers have found that sparkling water causes a greater feeling of satiety than plain water, especially when you're on an empty stomach. And the fuller you feel, the less food you will consume. Just avoid the sugary versions.
