Let’s talk about carbonated water. Water is carbonated by adding CO2. This makes it bubbly and slightly acidic.
The body needs CO2 for oxygen to be absorbed into the cells. You can even put your body in a hypoxic state (low oxygen state) by depriving your tissues of CO2.
Carbonated spas or baths are used in some places for people with circulatory problems or diabetic wounds. It’s also used as a therapy for people after a stroke and to decrease the rate of amputation.
While I wasn’t able to find research on the health benefits of carbonated water, I did find some parallel research on CO2. CO2 is a potent anti-tumor, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory gas.
One study found a significant increase in the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system by increasing CO2. The parasympathetic nervous system counters fight or flight mode and supports healing, digestion, and sleep.
CO2 is a key factor we can’t ignore. You can increase your CO2 by breathing through your nose, especially while you sleep or exercise. Hot springs also have a significant amount of CO2. It’s even used in certain skin creams.

@@Drberg dr plz talk about sinonasal intestinal low grade adenocarsinoma it’s a rare cancer and I can’t find in depth details anywhere in the internet 😢
@@Drberg thank you. So many doctors seem to only care about writing a script. I think as a way to cover themselves so they don't get sued. It really concerns me that so many people take 5-10 different medications. That stuff has got to be chemically reacting inside peoples' bodies and there is no way to know what will happen when so many medications are taken at the same time.

I officially stopped drinking alcohol 6 months ago. It was a huge feat for me. Drinking carbonated water with a lime especially, has been my saving grace and helps keep me going. Edit: thank you everyone for the kind responses-it sounds like a lot of us are going through similar journeys
Well done, bravo!!! This is hard to do. I will share this with you: Glutamine powder helps a lot. 1 tsp mixed with water and Apple Cider Vinegar and a pinch of salt for taste, once a day. Glutamine stops cravings for sugar. Working out hard outdoors in the sunlight, helped me a lot too. Once those endorphins kick in, goodbye cravings. I found also that cutting back refined carbs and sugars like cakes and cookies, also dropped my desire for wine or alcohol.
Yay🎉 sometimes like with cigarette smoking, we enjoy the deep breath ..not the smoke necessarily...for me anyway Circa 1979.!!!
Congratulations! I'm over 4 years sober myself. It's something I never thought I'd be able to accomplish as a former daily drinker. It's been one of the best decisions of my life. I don't regret it one bit. Keep up the good work my friend. Wishing you well 🤙🏽
Cracking open an ice cold Lacroix is oddly satisfying. Good for cravings.
I stop directly stop alcohol 5 yrs ago. Totally sober. Now I feel better and looks young. Only problem is my Sciatica Slip disc. Ok sir
Carbonated water with lemon juice added to it helped me conquer my cola addiction and I feel so much better both mentally and obviously physically. Thanks for this video still, I am glad it actually gives further benefits besides not filling myself with cancerous sugar water.
Glad to hear it!
Carbonated water with lemon juice could be bad for your teeth if you are constantly consuming it (a replacement for regular water). You never allow your oral PH value to return to neutral. It damages your enamel especially if you brush right after you drink it. It still better than soda tho.
u drinkin that mexican cola ?

My mineral water arrived today. I really liked it. But my new way of eating n now drinking is pretty spendy. 😊 oh Thank you for not putting up a startling caption. When I see negative things that sticks in my brain and almost changes my opinion. I don’t have time to check them out n when I do it ends up false n just tricked into watching. I won’t be hitting those videos again.
This is awesome! I hated soda water. But I started drinking it when I was getting fit in replace of soda for that carbonation feel. Ended up loving it and I drink soda water all the time.
Yay! We got a soda stream machine when we started keto diet a couple of years ago. We drink carbonated water with a squeeze of lime. After a couple of weeks off sugar, your taste changes and even that tiny bit of lime starts to taste a little sweet. Highly recommend.
I found my Soda Stream didn't get it very carbonated. Is there a secret?
@@TracyKMainwaring check the cylinder for pressure, it might be running flat? It's easy to compare the weight with a full one. Double/triple the extractions when it runs flat, until it's all gone.
@@JSmith73 it’s always been this way.
@@TracyKMainwaring I usually hold down the carbonating button for 1-3 seconds. When it hisses, it is releasing excess pressure. It’s usually well carbonated then.
What brand soda stream would you recommend? I have wanted to get one...but there are so many to choose from.
I've switched from sodas to sparkling water 15+ years ago. It quenches my thirst minus the sugar of soda much better than regular water.
I switched from beer to carbonated healing water and it keeps me satisfied in a situation I`d normally drink beer. Awesome !
Being HOLISTIC , anything that does NOT produce naturally in the NATURE, imho should not be advocated or consumed regularly. Drinking pure mountain Alps spring water is the way. nobody, should be consuming an UNNATURAL gassed drink which creates gas release accumulation inside your long intestinal tracts. Think about it.
Yes!!! I total agree!😊❤

@@himawari4166 no such thing as special healing water
This is such good news for me. I love drinking carbonated water so much and I thought it was bad, not knowing why. I also used to drink too much alcohol and this was a great substitute. Thank you for your research!
same I felt it was bad but now after this video finally I can drink
What brand do you purchase?
I drink more carbonated water when I’m avoiding alcohol. It definitely helps.

Yes, previously they said it depleted bone tissue?
People have been doing that in India for a long time anytime stomach is upset or gassy they have soda water. Not softdrinks but soda water. Now I understand the reason why. Thank you Dr Berg for explaining.
Yeah, but then doesn't it mean the carbonated drinks are making the stomach pH more alkaline? This is what most of us are trying to avoid bc our stomach pH is supposed to be acidic. Need clarification on this bc I love drinking these... but have been taking betaine HCl and stuff to acidify my stomach.
Rewatch the video, Dr. Berg literary said that carbonated water is acidic.
Except soda-water doesn´t have CO2, or maybe it does???
it's not a soda if it's not carbonated ;)
My family would give us ginger ale or club soda for upset stomach.
I love this Doctor. He respects the patient and educates them instead of talking down to them. It’s like sitting in a classroom with a REAL teacher that loves the subject and wants to share it. You know what teachers use to be! I’m 65 and HAD very high BP until I followed his advice. My doctor cleared me and it was done with NO medication. Diet only. Thank you Doctor
We deeply appreciate your positive feedback!
When to drink ? In the morning ? With empty stomach ? What if we dilute powder electrolytes??? Please, somebody ❤️thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sooo interesting!

I had some bloodwork come back a few months ago showing elevated A1C, blood glucose, triglycerides, and HDL - just short of being pre-diabetic. I found this channel five weeks ago and since I've dropped 20lbs, down to 180 now and all my readings ARE NORMAL! Thank you doc!
But not only from watching the channel, i guess :D Unless you watched so much that you forgot to eat . :D :P

How did you lose so much weight so fast?
Can I ask what you did to lose weight and more importantly get so healthy so quick? That’s amazing btw
My mom was having horrible leg cramps last year and her doctor prescribes quinine. It didn't help at all. I suspected electrolite issues so had her take 1/4 tab a day in water. No more cramps! Now i will make it carbonated. Thank you for your generous channel!
I’m SO GLAD you posted this. For years I’ve always said I get dehydrated from drinking regular flat water. My lips are always chapped, I feel queasy and uncomfortable trying to drink flat water, and never satisfied. I’ve been drinking carbonated water almost exclusively for decades. I feel refreshed and hydrated and it goes down much easier.
Just in case people decide to stop drinking it, regular flat water will not dehydrate you, but if you prefer sparkling then great.
You have an allergy to water?
sounds placeboish. Normal water dehydrates you?? what??
@@JunkBondTrader😂😂😂 I laughed too, but everyone is different. Really I shouldn't be laughing. That's not like me.(laughing at your comment, not the person's issue)
Regular water makes me nauseous as well. No I don’t dislike water. But I do get nausea from drinking it often. So I add cucumbers or ginger or something to it which helps.
I knew it!! I replaced the occasional soda with flavored non sweetened carbonated water about a decade ago. Some people said the carbonation was still bad for you but I always felt great after drinking them. Confirmation I needed, thank you! 🙏🏻😎
Being "pureblood" helps too. 😊 🙏
Think about why the push to minimize co2 is so strong right now
I've been doing similar for a while. One tall glass, 1/4 teaspoon electrolytes, 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice, 10 stevia drops, 1/8 - 1/4 cup filtered water to mix, top up with carbonated mineral water. Optionally add a splash of kombucha. You can add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon ACV if you wish, or make it with ACV instead of lemon. It's a quick and easy healthy soft drink!.
Me too! It got me off soda as well!
@@bcc7777 Hahaha, right? 💪🏻😁
I live in Italy and while still water is available most people opt for acqua frizzante/acqua gassata which are the two names for carbonated water. It really is incredibly refreshing, has natural minerals, and definitely feels more hydrating. It's also good for people trying to wean themselves off soda and drink more H2O.
And better for digestion, now I understand why Italians use so much of it.
Makes me wonder if that's an overlooked aspect of diets worldwide. Could explain why folks who imbibe are able to counteract the effects of pasta.
Oh maybe that is the reason why Argentinas drink carbonated water with their coffee... Italian influence.
@@dudewhathappenedtomycountr9099 The pasta here is of the highest quality, you can eat 400 g of Garofalo, Voiello, and other brands and you would not gain weight. However acqua frizzante is extremely popular here as mentioned - Fontalba Prestige is the best brand - and adds many health benefits
Well you would gain 400 g weight of pasta temporarily I guess, but no fat 😂
Dr. Eric Berg, thank you so much! You saved me and taught me how to lower my blood sugar. I come from a family with Diabetes. Most of my siblings are on Insulin. I found your channel on Keto Diet a month and a half ago. I was due for a bloodwork, but I delayed it, and followed the Keto Diet. Just two weeks ago, I did my blood work. And last Wednesday, I went to see my Provider for the results. My bloodwork was fantastic, Thank you God....but the thing that surprised me most was my blood sugar! last year it was 6.2, and last Wednesday, it was 5.7! I am continuing my Keto Diet, and I have learned how to Fast. I always had problems when preparing for bloodwork because, I cannot fast. I always get hungry every 2-3 hours. But ever since I did the Keto Diet, I could fast for 10-12 hours. Just amazing! I am not really fat, just regular size, but I am amazed with my weight now and flat belly. Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I also enjoy drinking Carbonated Water (Perrier).You are a Life Saver, had I not known about this Keto Diet, I could have been a candidate for Insulin just like my siblings.
Carbonated water finally enabled me to stop drinking soda. I drank Coke for near 20 years almost non-stop. I wanted to get off it, but the problem was that I still wanted to have a nice drink with meals and I couldn't find one that didn't have sugar in it. Eventually, I found flavored carbonated water and it was a saving grace. It's cheaper, it tastes fresher and I started to properly lose weight for the first time in years. I didn't even really exercise much. Just removing Coke and that insane level of sugar alone does wonders.
💪💪💪
Adding carbonated Spring Water to fruit juices like grape, blueberry and apple tastes amazing and it’s fun to make your own soda.
@@fairbanksairriders Is there any way to carbonate normal water at home? The problem with store bought fizzy water is that it always goes flat pretty quick!
@@chatteyj get a Soda Stream.... carbonates water.
Well done but I hope you stop drinking with your meals.
Took a drink from my bottle of carbonated water, opened KZhead to check notifications and once again found a new video of Dr. Berg talking about something that directly relates to me. It's uncanny.
@@SG-df9er When I read the 1st comment I thought of Jung though the word uncanny was used by Freud earlier. And in your comment you mentioned Jung. Synchronicity again 🙂
Back in Mexico in the late 50s, and thru the 60s and 70s my parents owned an ice cream parlor, with delicious ice cream, in many flavors, eskimals, real fruit popsicles and a carbonated water machine that was the main source for people to come to the place...my Dad (RIP) bought this large machine in El Paso, TX and brought it to his business ...some how he started selling carbonated water with lime juice and a sprinkle of salt and people loved it!.....especially in the hot and blistering summers in Torreon, Mexico.....I love to this day a cold glass of carbonated water with lime juice and a sprinkle of Himalayan salt, .....makes me feel hydrated and a general feeling of well being...Try it, you will love it....Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing your video, you re the Best!!!
before I was heading to the grocery store for some reason I had an urge to buy some lemon to squeeze in my sparkling mineral water and then I came back and lit up a joint as I cracked open my sparkling wager and began to read through these comments and then seen this about the lime and dash of salt - definitely going to be giving this a try and be keeping you and your pops in mind 👊🙏
During my cancer treatment I craved for CO2 water, it was a relief to drink it because more of the time I felt nauseated and on top of that with troubles to digest anything. Good to know that it wasn’t a simply psychological factor but something physical, or rather, chemical
That explains the Net Zero agenda. Thank you!

I was admitted to hospital with covid in 2021 and was put into an induced coma and put on a ventilator. I remember all the dreams I was having and the most consistant dream was drinking cold carbonated water. I never liked carbonated water before however when I came out of hospital I craved it. Now I drink a couple of bottles a day. Love it.

@@Charlotte-zj8rq Firstly, they told my family that they had to prepare themselves for the worst. Then they told them that I probably won't be the same person, probably due to lack of oxygen! I can tell you I lost all my muscles, I needed speech therapy, it took me a good couple of months to walk again. I still have neuropathy in my legs but it's improved. There was lots who did pass while I was there. I was lucky and I'm not that old either!
Wow!!! Thank God you made it.
You and Dr Medell are a blessing to the world. I’ve loved your videos for so many years.
Dr. & Mrs. Berg, Your guy’s work ROCKS.
No one ever advised me to drink carbonated water, opposite, they advised me against it…but lately I’m just feeling really better drinking it and now I don’t feel bad doing it.
I heard it neutralizes the acid in stomach. So dont drink it when eating. But now I guess not!
@@capnbly Drinking any water gives your stomach new volume of liquid which happens to be less acidic than the HCl solution you use to digest. That way the volume increases but the molecules of acid stay the same (plus the much lesser quantity of carbonic acid from CO2). That's why it disturbs digestion. Doesn't really neutralize the acid, but it does dilute it. Still, the potential benefits discussed in the video are not relevant to that, of course then it's better to drink when not eating. Although, in my experience, it doesn't really make that much of a difference
Good morning Dr Berg and thankyou for another awesome video! I do not have any gallbladder and have digestive issues, like acid reflux silent gerd so I take Betaine HCL to help with digestion? I also have a lot of bloating and gas. Would carbonized water help or make it worst or help with everything? Love and may God keep blessing you❤🙏🏻

I'm so happy to find this information. I have been drinking carbonated water that has a little natural fruit flavor in it--no salt, sugar, or anything else, and wasn't sure if it was healthy to do that or not. I'm so glad to learn that it's okay.
Natural flavors are chemicals unknown
You can get plain carbonated water or buy the machine and add fresh lemon or lime juice which is natural check the sugar on your regular drink may have 2-5 grams per serving
I absolutely love sparkling water, seltzer....all of it. I go through gallons of this stuff. It is refreshing and keeps me away from Diet Coke which I was addicted to for years. One of the best investments if you don't want to lug around bottles and cans is a Soda Stream. You can pump lots of carbonation into your drink making it really "crispy" which I love. Cheers!
like "crispy" definition 😀
"crispy" lol! Good description 😅
I've been drinking carbonated water mixed 50-50 with regular water. It goes down easier and always makes me feel better. I always felt kind of guilty and stupid for doing this. So it's good to know that there are medical benefits for doing this! Thanks.
Try carbonated water with ice cubes
I’m sorry. There are no medical benefits. He made this stuff up out of whole clothe. The carbonation you swallow has zero to do with your blood serum levels.
Just drink 100% carbonated water lol
I mean it's strictly carbonated water only, people adding Whiskey or drinking coke or pop soda don't get the same benefits.

Its amazing seeing this vid now! Since i was 13yo i suffered from anxiety and panick attacks. I had no idea what was wrong with me for many years! I was properly diagnosed in my 30's,followed some treatments and eventually got the disease under control,meds free(of any kind). i am still anxious but the attacks are long gone. However,in the years since i was diagnosed ,i discovered carbonated water helped me recover and made me able to walk if an unexpected panic attack occured. Never other drinks. Im happy this info is available now and hope will help a lot of people!
i started regularly consuming carbonated drinks about 17-18 years ago (more often than not, drinking way more carbonated drinks than drinking normal water) still do, feel fine, and don't intend to stop. If there were many or any negative effects, i should have felt it long time ago because at some point in time i have spent days without drinking normal water, only carbonated drinks. And yes trully as a fact, drinking carbonated drinks almost always makes me feel better, regardless of the issues i have had.
I started drinking sparkling water when I lived in Europe, a lot of people drink it there. At first I didn't get it but the more I was drinking it, I began to like it more and more. Now I can't go a day without drinking it. It is best served ice cold freshly opened bottle with lemon. So refreshing.

Awesome data, thanks for sharing.
Osteoporosis does not run in my family and I am tall. Bone scans showed my bones were fine. Over two years ago I became hooked on sparkling water with zero sodium and zero carbs. Over those more than two years I consumed eight or more 12 ounce cans of sparkling water per day. Now I have Osteopenia, bordering on Osteoporosis, and my blood work over the last few months repeatedly shows my kidney function has dropped. My teeth enamel is also thinner than it was. I am heeding the warnings of others and giving up sparkling/carbonated water.
Thank you for sharing
I doubt that, but maybe you are confused with diet soda?
too much of anything good can be bad for u.. way too much carbonated water my friend
You are correct. I was warned about this by two doctors.

That’s absolutely made my day as I get through a large bottle of carbonated water a day with a fresh lemon squeezed into it and everyone keeps telling me how bad it is for me but I just feel so much better drinking it. I have multiple health issues and have to take a lot of meds for it but my pain feels reduced as soon as I start drinking it, it also helps my stomach as I suffer with bowel obstructions if I don’t drink it ( as I have a slow transit)and it calms me down mentally. I’ve always got it next to me and really enjoy it. Bonus!😊 ♥️
When I had the hemorrhoids operation, he became constipated for 9 months, even though the hemorrhoids disappeared. Do you advise me to drink carbonated water? How many bottles of water do I drink a day? Is it possible to drink carbonated water on the same day?
I quit soft drinks a while ago but I still craved that fizzy feeling. Enter sparkling water. I always felt so refreshed after drinking a cold sparkling water especially after adding an entire lemon. This is how I start my day and I do not miss coke, sprite, etc at all.
good to know. I dread the flavor, having had some awful seltzer or sparking water in the past.
@@ivyz2741 Try Topo Chico sparkling water, it's the best.
Dr. Berg did a video in which he said, we shouldn’t have lemon water (vitamin C) while eating because it interferes with digestion, you can look up the video. Instead lemon water in the mornings between meals. with maybe some apple cider vinegar.
"I do not miss coke" said no one ever
I sustained a very bad rib injury some years ago- the injury was so severe that my breathing was compromised & I would have trouble breathing with ease. I drank a topo chico one day and noticed that my breathing was smoother/ easier & my head became unclouded as well. I can say with 100% certainly that carbonated water has benefits relative to oxygen processes.
I was in a bad rollover accident. I drink , still water ,topo chico & sparkling everyday helps with breathing forsure
Thank you Dr Eric. It is new knowledge for me. I used to avoid drinking carbonated water
I have always loved carbonated water, since I was younger. Most of my friends think I’m strange and none of them like it. Maybe this is one of the reasons I’ve loved it without even knowing it. I’ve found it helps my hunger when I’m trying to avoid binge eating/snacking

All my life, the only thing that can quench my thirst when I'm really thirsty or dehydrated is sparkling (carbonated) mineral water, and as such I always keep a few bottles in my pantry. Sometimes I add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a touch of flavor. I always realized there must have been an actual scientific reason why I crave carbonated mineral water when I'm parched, and now I know... my family just thought it was yet another one of my weird quirks lol 😆
I feel exactly the same way.
same here
My dad got me hooked on club soda when I was about 10. He would take me to the race track, usually Hollywood Park, and order his scotch on the rocks with a soda back, he would then give me the soda. ...
Been drinking and loving Pellegrino for 50+ years for THESE same reasons ! It satisfies like no other
Wow, this is such a mind-blowing video of fascinating information. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
I bought my own carbonated drink maker about a year ago and greatly love it. Usually I just carbonate regular water and drink it that way. I might mix it in with shochu (an alcoholic drink here in Japan) maybe add some lemon juice and it is quite good. Another plus I wasn't expecting, was that I can get more out of a can of beer by mixing in about a quarter or a third of cold carbonated water into a glass partly filled from the beer. It really doesn't thin out the taste the much, hardly noticeable if it's a good beer to begin with and not the thin watery type, and I get more volume from the can without consuming more alcohol. I drink it for the refreshment and taste, not really need the alcohol for anything, and it works great, especially this year after coming home from the hot days at work. I might be tempted to pop open another can if i didn't add the bubbly water to quench my thirst.
That is an interesting tip. I actually saw hop flavored carbonated water being sold which gets at the same idea I guess. I'll need to try it.
Great idea…I will try it with Asahi Breweries (love the taste of such beer). Cheers from NYC 🗽
I never knew there was so much complexity behind carbonated water. I’ll have to try it.
Sure. Hope you will like it!
I’ll listen to anything this Doctor says, I was heading in a bad direction with my health and found your channel and it completely changed everything around the best bloodwork I’ve ever done since I been an adult
I’ve always wondered why I enjoyed carbonated and sparkling water. This makes sense. Thank you.
Thanks for all your research. In the morning Im off to the shop.😊
The fact you share so much information about health for free just speaks volumes to the human being you are. Thank you so much for all you do! Seriously a blessing to society
He makes millions off of KZhead, technically not for free
@@livinglife1089 it’s free to me
Nothing in life is free...
@@kashr7439 lol true my friend
@@livinglife1089 was coming on here to say the same 😂
I love carbonated water (it is called sparkling water here in England). I also love your channel and learn so much from the information you provide. Thank you.
Glad to hear you are learning a lot here. Wishing you good health!
The US also calls it both carbonated and sparkling water. It’s like pop/soda, where it depends on location or the person.
They are not the same thing as one is natural and the other artificially created with some added elements.
it's called sparkling water too, in japan. and probably asia general.
I really like you man! I feel so good on sparkling mineral water thank you 🙏
Thank you sooo much Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge with us, we appreciate it.💜🙏🏼
Glad to help!
He is incredible . I wish there were more like him…… not a pill pusher.
Am I happy to see this!! I've always chosen carbonated water over plain water for the last 35 years, and now I know why!! I always feel refreshed after drinking carbonated water and also drink it before bed. Normal water has always felt 'dead' to me and only made me feel bloated.
I have had doctors tell me to not use carbohydrated water, but it helped me with thick mucus in my throat, so I ignored their advice! Along with the push to drink excess water making my incontinence problem worse! Anyway thankful for this video and your updated water video!
Best doctor ever with amazing useful information hi from Greece Doctor
Thanks for your support!
Club Soda is my usual beverage of choice for years now. I mix it with 1/3 cranberry juice, or pom juice, or lemon juice etc. It is very refreshing and enjoyable.
This actually makes sense now that you bring it up since oxygen oxidizes things and create free radicals in the body. Also, thank you for sharing this insight because I used to worry that carbonated water might be bad or a worse version of regular water. I love using it with lemon and other blended fruit as my soda replacement. Now, I know it has added health benefits, too!
Unless you're using oxygen under pressure aka Hyperbaric chamber :) And ozone is great too! Oxidative stress is not bad :)
FINALLY !!! You answered why I always have the feeling my body cells absorb more water when drinking carbonated water. At first I thought it was because it increases my low stomach acid 'cause I even top up herbal tea with carbonated water which just feels right - for me. You have added a slightly different slant and THANK YOU so much for that.
If you have low stomach acid then you're low in potassium. Almost everyone us deficient as we need around 5000 mg of it and must of it comes from veggies and fruit. The acidic nature of c02, vinegar, etc helps in times of low acid, so it does help temporarily and I'd encourage it to relieve symptoms
Thank you..and yes have been taking Potassium C which also for a few years now which also is good against kidney stones. I also have a gallstone so that adds to digestive/ absorption problems. :))) Good that there are so many supplements and independent advice on (foods) available. Thank you again.
@@9StarKee Olive oil has been proven to help break up gallstones. Take some everyday along with bile acids or Tudca. Olive oil causes the liver to produce bile. gallbladder/liver stones are caused by a lack of bile as it causes the liver to become congested and sluggish, resulting in stones.
This is awesome! I used to love gulping down Topo Chico or Perrier after a long day of work. All my friends used to make fun of me, it seems like there is a stigma attached to carbonated water, and I told them it made me feel so refreshed, and invigorated even. Now I know I wasn't crazy!
I am so happy to hear this Dr Berg! I have religiously been drinking carbonated/sparkling water for over 30 yrs. It is my main drink of choice. I absolutely love it. And I couldnt tell you how many times I was told I shouldnt be drinking it, that it is not good for me. So happy I ignored their opinions.
Same!!
Yep
That’s right! I’ve been drinking Carbonated Water through all my life, I’m older now and never a problem, to the contrary, I’ve enjoyed good health always. It’s satisfying and thirst quenching. Thank you Dr. Berg, I was trying to research some about this topic but never found much information.
no problems with getting more holes in teeth? There was talk that dentists noticed deteriorating teeth when families got Sodastreams...
@@kgrlondon use straw?
I have use carbonated waters to ease my way off of beers and soda when my consumption became too much. Worked like a charm.
Wow awesome data! Thanks for sharing ❤
Dr. Berg - Authentic and Awesome you are! Thank you. 💯
I have learned so much and thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
Thanks Dr B! Always bringing new info to us as we need it!
I can attest to what is being said in this video. I have had a bladder infection all week, and have had constant urges to urinate the whole time. So far today I drank a 500ml bottle of room temperature, carbonated water ("Sparkling Water" as we call it in my country). Guess what? The strong urges to urinate have subsided by a lot. Thanks Doc. You are on to something big-time here with this one.
I think a lot of places call it sparkling water, cause the bubbles do make it sparkle. It's pretty
D-mannose is an amazing helper when I had a bladder infection in the past. I and other women swear by it. Hope you are feeling better!
Cool. Some of his videos on urination may help further.
@@consciouspreconception334 I'm a guy suffering with it to be honest. Not a Woman. 😁
I learned a lot from you and benefited a lot from your valuable videos, and I cannot help but appreciate and respect you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, Dr. Berg. 😊
Very glad to be of help.
When i was growing up i heard so much about carbonated water being very bad etc etc, but i always enjoyed it, even if allot of my friends say it tastes like tv static, whatever that means. Glad to hear that it actually has its benefits, thanks!
To whoever is reading this keep going,you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this!
Yes Lord I need to hear things like this today after losing over 30lbs
I've lost 65 pounds in seven months and turned around the onset of diabetes thanks to the good doctor. Healthy diet, exercise and fasting has been a life changer.
@Ethel Bentancourt Goodluck with everything!

Dr Berg is an amazing researcher. Thank you for every video posted! Imagine having tones of doctors and fighting with them over basic biochemistry. Oh- going crazy.. Yes, you are right about cabronated water. It used to be almost a "national drink" in ex-Yugoslavia, especially the natural one. It is good for hydration, full of electrolytes, for cell repair, new cells, even natural baths from the source of this water were very popular- an early kind of health spa....Thanks again, you are so thorough and always going to the bottom of each topic.
Your videos are a miracle to the KZhead community!
Thank you very much. Appreciate your comment.
I cannot thank you enough for your great information. God bless 🙏
No problem. Happy to share this video.
Yes. Sugarless of course.
Yes! a grocery store chain I go to adds saccharine to carbonated water. I stick to natural one!
I ve been drinking carbonated water since I stopped drinking for the past 6 months. It replaced juices, cokes and all the sugar drinks I used to drink. I feel wonderful with more than 25 pounds lost so far
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing ❤
Been drinking carbonated water for years. Always a 1.5L bottle next to me on my computer table (on the opposite side of the computer case; in case of any spills). This could explain why it feels refreshing. Before that I was drinking soda from time to time but it has way too much sugar in it. Then I noticed that I'm not after the soda taste but the refreshing carbonation. Tried carbonated water for a while & never gone back. No more soda. Glad that we still have a few products in store that are not complete garbage to your health. EDIT: Carbonated water with lemon seems to be to my taste.
My hubby just bought me some carbonated spring water in the glass bottles... yum.❤
You have just answered a question I have been wanting to ask you as I have grown to trust your judgment over the few years. My whole life I have craved soda with lime water and only drunk this carbonated water. Like you and helped my digestion I felt more lively I felt brighter and my thirst quenched better. I had also heard that carbonation reduces minerals in your body and that that was why my fingernails were soft... But that's all I wanted to drink and that's what I have always continued to drink. Just like when I was a child I did not like orange juice or oranges and only ate limes lemons or grapefruit. Somehow I am I guess in touch with my body naturally. When I drank just an ounce of red wine when I ate I also had the same sensation so when I ate I drank some 1-2oz. red wine...much much later it was discovered the benefits. So I am happy I continue with what I feel my body is craving. I have become one of your greatest proponents to try to help other people by sharing your relevant videos as I discover them but you are so right that people do not appreciate the intrusion no matter how well-intended. Which I can understand because of the myriad snake-oil videos out there!! You are helping so many of us who have alternate beliefs and have stuck by them despite the medical profession casting aspersions on us as patients. Of course as I age I also get that prejudgment from MD.s So now at my age it's almost impossible to find a decent doctor with a brain open enough to listen. And the truly educated person knows enough to know that nothing is static and that they have a lot to learn! This is only what we know about carbon dioxide intake right now. Who knows what you will find ten years from now? I don't understand the desire for the concept of absolute/definitive knowledge. Curiosity, quest... Thank you thank you thank you for giving substantiation to instinctive preferences (wive's tales,...eg. chicken soup) most of my life I spent researching these things by myself. I used to it so much better!!!
the gas released from the drink expands your gut and more surface area of your intestine means everything gets absorbed faster . thats why you thirst quenched better and drink less wine but feel the affects same as drinking more . its bad if you dont want to absorb sugar into your body quickly
Intuitively started drinking carbonated water for a year now. I had leftover soda water from a night of whiskey and soda water. I noticed that I felt better after a bottle of soda water in the morning. It's my preferred water hydration drink and is a great alternative to sugary soda drink's.
You felt better bc alcohol dehydrated you
Some great info. Thanks DB 🙂🎸🙂
Glad to help!
You convinced me to give it a try.
Thank you for this research about co2! My mother has been diagnosed with liver cancer and additionally feels dehydrated a lot. She said drinking San Pelligrino mineral water makes her feel much better than regular water.
PRAYERS ❤🙏❤
@Peace Seeker thank you! 🥰 She is starting a keto diet but I didn’t think about the test strips. Thanks for sharing. I hope you are having a very blessed Mothers Day as well!
@@theresawolford9000 Thank you! 🥰💕
Right. Also, some of Dr Berg’s videos on the liver and on cancer may help.
i also drink san pelligrino
I used sparkling water as a replacement for soda a couple of years ago. Sometimes you just want that carbonation. So glad I did!
Funny enough, ever since I was a kid I was never the biggest summertime soda drinker. In high school I discovered this drink called Orangina (slightly carbonated orange juice), and from there moved onto Perrier. There's literally nothing better than coming home on a hot day to an ice cold glass of Perrier with a wedge of lime. In the 2000s I swear I drank 1-2 large bottles a day for like 6 years. Good stuff. 😊
I live in Germany and make my own Orangina at home…and mainly we do ApfelSchorle. 50.50 apple juice and fresh sparkling water…drink it daily
Glad i found this vlogg. I dont feel good drinking plain water, i get heartburn! But bubbly water makes me feel great! So good to know i can drink it quilt free now:) thx
Thanks for watching the video. Wishing you good health!
Whoa! For the past month, I have been thinking about getting one of those countertop machines that carbonate water, and I couldn't figure out why I had such an urge to do it. There are many things in this video that hit home! My late husband, his father, and now (as of her diagnosis one month ago) his mother have all passed away from cancer that metastasized before diagnosis. I am in my early 50s without disease, and not on any medications. I do not eat grains or anything with 'added sugar,' but I quit eating some naturally occurring sugars a month ago to reduce inflammation. This video touches on the topics I have recently been thinking about and dealing with, and I will DEFINITELY carbonate my water!
I e been drinking San Pelligrino for a few years 2 or 3 times a week. I’ve never been able to figure out why I feel so much better after consuming. My digestion is so much better! Now I know. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Dr. Berg Dude, you speak the truth I’ve been drinking carbonated H2ZO all my life and let me tell you man it picks me up when I’m feeling down. Thank you for reassuring me now because of you I’m gonna go buy me about five cases of topo Chico now.
Oh arrr I will give this a try thanks berg 🙏
