    ignore the number guy, it's fine as long as it stays in your calorie goal.

    That is about teeth.

    Plz to explain how drinking something acidic will make your already acidic stomach more alkaline.

    I drink sparkling water all the time, check the ingredients though some contain aspartame which is horrible for you, so steer clear of that. I'm no expert but I don't see anything wrong with it, however plain water is the best for you of course.

    So what is the next best thing to drink after water ?
    What about the no added sugar dilute juice ?

    Drinking carbonated water or flavored water is fine. Drink what you like if you can fit it in. Enjoy what you like in moderation, you don't have to give up everything that you like.

    This. All of those things have water in them, so you're still getting water.

    I work nights so mainly drink flavoured water then. Anything else like tea coffee or fizzy pop makes me feel like crap.

    So if I drank flavour water all day I'd be ok and had sparkling sometimes for that bit of fizz

    No. Aspartame is one of the most tested substances out there. It's perfectly safe. Some people with migraine disease have sensitivity to it, but other than that? It's fine.

    LaCroix flavored seltzer waters are GREAT. No sodium, no sweeteners, just yummy flavors and fizz. Coconut is my favorite.

    I drink about a gallon and a half of store-brand-Mio water every day. It has delicious, delicious sucralose and tastes far better than plain or juiced water. I'm guessing the pH is essentially the same as when the water comes out of the fridge.

    I'd watch out for things like Crystal Light, only because of the massive dose of acid that is really bad for your teeth. :#

    lacroix is a brand of carbonated water, and Mio is a flavored water.

    I've been drinking unflavored sparkling water. Honestly, I love it so much! I hate flavored drinks unless it's coffee or alcohol.
