Many people who want to stay healthy and hydrated have turned to sparkling water because they find its effervescence and taste more refreshing than plain water. Still, misconceptions have persisted that somehow the carbonation in sparkling water is not as healthy. Now, according to a recent article in the New York Daily News, two nutritionists have confirmed that sparkling water is just as good for you.

The article quotes Manhattan-based nutritionist Keri Gans, RDN, CND, as saying that sparkling water is just as healthy for you: “If somebody doesn’t like the taste of water, they shouldn’t be concerned if sparkling is all they’re drinking. Sparkling water is just as hydrating. All it is is added carbonation.” She also clears up the misconception that carbonation depletes the calcium in your body : “The conclusion is that carbonation does not do that. Other ingredients in soda may do that, but carbonation does not.”

In the article Kristi King, MPH, RDN, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, dispels the notion that carbonation somehow erodes tooth enamel: “Usually any tooth erosion comes from beverages that are sugar-sweetened in conjunction with carbonation, which tend to be highly acidic. Carbonated water is not going to be nearly as acidic.”

Later in the article Gans also notes that not all sparkling waters are equally healthy and we tend to agree. Syfo, made from 100% purified water, is naturally flavored and contains no sugar, sodium, artificial sweeteners or preservatives. That makes Syfo one of the healthiest sparkling water beverage choices.
