Water question

So I got a Soda Stream for Christmas...which I love for making sparkling water. Here's my question...can I use the water that i make (I don't add anything to it aside from the C02) as my water intake? Can I use that instead of the "flat" water?
I wasn't sure if it mattered....I'm not adding flavor/sugar/syrups anything like that. I like the bubbles. Thanks for letting me know.

I don't think it has calories, just like water doesnt. But it might have some sodium in it becouse of the bubbles, but I'm not sure. I think you can drink it instead of water.0

Of course you can count it - it is still water! Even if you did add flavor it would still be water (but if you added calories with the flavor you'd need to count them).0

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but one of my friends really loves seltzer and she says research indicates it is just as hydrating as plain flat water. I also just searched on Google and came up with the following article defending drinking naturally flavored seltzer water from a Sodastream: http://www.theyummylife.com/Flavored_Sparkling_Water0

It definitely doesn't add any calories or sodium. The bubbles are just air. Count it!
Drink up!
