seltzer good or bad?

cosmicbrut · October 2010

i gave up soda a while ago and all I drink now is seltzer. I realize its just carbonated water but i drink about 12 cans a day. Can anyone tell me if theres any benefit or drawback to seltzer?

I would definitely cut back on the amount that you are taking in. Read this article for more details:

sodium...
Depending on the seltzer they usually have a lot of salt which isn't so good. Also, there have been studies that say that carbonated beverages will lower your ability to absorb calcium which can be bad... drink water. If you dont' care for the lack of flavor add a lemon or a lime. Save the seltzer for emergency fizz cravings.

sodium is the worst thing in the carbonated waters. I thought it'd be good to drink strawberry carbonated water some times, but looking at the sodium made me put it back.
