@Kevin Brett Artificially carbonated water sucks, the natural one is awesome. Or it can be carbonated with the gas from the mineral spring, that works too.
Does anyone get super thristy for more softdrink like ten minutes after drinking it. It's like it's addictive. Every ten minutes I'll crave more softdrink. I drink diet softdrink too.
I hate fizzy water
I consume(d) a TON of soda over my 58 years of life, and yes, my teeth are mostly gone (dentures now) but no kidney stones, never once. I did have gall bladder issues, but that was removed a year ago and now no issues at all, and still consume at least 40 ounces of soda every single day, plus tea and coffee, and water.
Sparkling water is my favourite and has stopped me from consuming anywhere near as many sugary drinks. Feels like a refreshing treat without the syrupy sweetness 🙂
Well said dude
100% agree. I was drinking 2ltr of Pepsi a day (pretty much addicted), decided to move onto fizzy water with diluting juice. Bought a sodastream, and havent looked back. been 3 weeks since i had a soft drink, and not missing it at all.
@@lazybones69 hell yeah bro, keep it up!
Same! I squeeze a lime in for an extra special treat.
Seriously, lemon-lime waterloo tastes way better than sprite to me. Same flavor profile without the nauseating amount of sugar.
Thank you. My daughter is a dietician, and she harps on me that any carbonated beverage is bad for you because, well, it's carbonated. I asked her to explain, and all her explanations had to do with sugary carbonated beverages.
your daughter is right! Simple common sense. Nature wants us to kick carbon dioxide out your body and inhale oxygen to form H2O which is 70% of human body just same as earth. But we humans are so stupidly advanced, that in Dexter's Lab, you want water and CO2 to go under high pressure and force it to form carbonic acid and then consume it and rely on some stupid researches backed by same soft drinks companies. Its just common sense which is not commonly found. The best way of healthy life is to consume food as it comes in its natural way!
One day, on my way home after a two hour long walk, I went inside my local Burger King restaurant and asked for a free cup for water. I got carbonated water, and it was perfect. It had no flavoring, it was nice and cold, and it just hit the spot. I instantly felt refreshed and recharged. Plus, it was free!
Dieticians are quacks
Just try Jaljira or Sikanji with Carbonated water or butter milk. i drink it with buttermilk in summer Its such refreshing drink. Jaljira is basically Mint powder, rock salt and other Indian spices.
*Here's a reason that it's bad: hiatal/hiatus hernias are on the rise because of carbonated beverages*
For those who don't know: a hiatus hernia is where your esophagus becomes over-expanded right above your stomach, leading to things like bad acid reflux and thus a large increased risk of esophageal cancer.
"We added way too much sugar to this drink and not only is it unhealthy but people won't like it. We need to add some stuff to balance out the sweetness."
Right.
Like rum or bourbon.
I do think I need three to four times more sugar when I make lemonade with sparkling water.
It isn't _neutralizing_ the sugar, it's only complementing it by shifting the taste. Using less sugar would just make it blander.
@Maracachucho
If something is overly flavored to the point you need something else to tone it down, that isn't balancing, its over compensating.
Using less wouldn't make it bland, but it would seem that way if you're already used to the stronger flavor, the reverse is also true. If you use less sweetener you would also need less acid.
If drinking fizzy water made you sick, people here in Germany ought to be dropping like flies.
@Justin Marion There's plenty of fizzy water here in Poland as well
So true, first I looked down at my nothing-but-fizzy-water devouring self and wondered how I'm still alive.
Sodastram ftw
The tapwater is great here in Germany (sometimes even tests better that bottled water) and since I bubble the water myself I can finally enjoy it 😅
I heard in Germany you like mixing Cola and Fanta. Is that true?
Given that Mexico consumes per capita the largest of Coke on earth should like the black death down there
If carbonated water was bad for you all of Germany would have a problem because that is the default bottled water here.
Yep, when I visited Germany, I was amazed by the amount of carbonated water everyone drank. The stereotype that American have of Germans is that they drink a lot of beer. Nope, they drink a lot of fizzy water. Oh, and Apfelschorle is delicious! Luckily, Aldi here in the US imports it from Germany, and sells it as a seasonal item in the fall. I always make sure to stock up on it.
Isnt bottled water just tap water in a bottle?
Why would anyone buy bottled water(apart from wanting a new reusable container)?
@@gabbonoo it's much guaranteed potable, it's portable, its cold, its taste, and they're talking about carbonated water
claim it’s cleaner than tap water ; and if you live in Flint Michigan that’s probably true
It's not that it is safe. it's that the Germans have evolved beyond the limitations of the human body.
This episode was definitely not inspired by Hank's soda stream.
@Tyler He's had a soda stream at home for decades and uses it a lot, but he also wants to make his own soda company. Not sure how serious he is about it though :P
Get busy with the fizzy!
Fun fact about phosphoric acid: dentists use it to etch the enamel to make a filling adhere to the tooth more securely. So yes, it erodes your enamel.
I'm sure it would if applied directly to the tooth. However, what is the percentage of phosphoric acid in the solution applied to a tooth and the percentage found in one soda?
@@Thecarnivorejournals the amounts found in soda are small, but the erosive effect is cumulative - the more you drink, and the less you clean and remineralize your teeth, the quicker it happens to break them down
Oh and don’t forget it also leaches calcium out of your bones
The stuff used by dentists is highly concentrated. It's all about dosage and application. But that said, brush your teeth afterwards and you should be fine. And frankly, given the amount of sugar in most drinks with phosphoric acid, you should probably be doing that anyway. The sugar is going to cause more harm to your teeth than the phosphoric acid.
@@chaegibson720 I don’t think you understand how much calcium is in the bones, and how much of an insignificant amount that it leeches as long as you have a regular supply of calcium consuming that will not be an issue 😂 water leeches minerals to
What Does Carbonated Water Do to Your Body?
It makes me burp. A lot. Seriously.
And burns my nose
At least it goes back out the right hole, in my case, I intoxicate a dinner party!
Use to drink a lot of that water, farts made me stop.
@@jamescollier3 why, because they don't agree with you?

As I was sipping on my fizzy water, I literally just had this question and checked my TH-cam subscriptions and saw this video. Thanks, SciShow!
I remember as a kid I got to try sparkling water for the first time (I excitedly ordered it at a restaurant). I was very disappointed because I thought it would literally sparkle, but it didn’t 😂😂
Bubbles 🫧:D
It does in the right light...
😅
@@pjaypender1009 that's boring. You might as well call it sparkling water under the right light
Thank you for this!! I'd never heard a defense of bubbly water - everything I'd read came from the point of sodas and not bubbly water. This is MUCH appreciated!!!
I'm excited by this, I'm a lover of Soda Water and everyone kept telling me it was bad. But I loved my bubbly water too much to care. Now I have nothing to fear!
100% of people that drink it die though..

Can confirm, I opt for fizzy water as opposed to regular water whenever I can, but rarely drink soda, after several years haven't had any sugary drink related problems
What is a “sugary drink related problem”? Is it spouting rubbish on social media? If so, you just had one.
But how will it quench your thirst? For me only plain water satiates thirst
@@whatsay3382 my man it’s carbonated water; H2O, it still hydrates ur body
@@Lozzie74 the clue is in the first word. that combined with moderate reading comprehension skill, you may be able to understand that OP meant problems caused by drinking too much/often sugary drinks.
Did you hear about the chemist who made carbonated beverages?
He was actually a fizzycist.
😂
I'm sure there is a joke there...
But That wasn't it..
sorry
🤣
i hear he had a bubbly personality
That's better than a Fizzy Cyst I suppose. Which sounds like a skin infection that somehow got carbonated...
Why are you calling me out with that can? *stares at Spindrift on desk*
Also, my daughter calls carbonated water "spicy water."
She's 16 next week.
I call it angry. I'll be 34 in July.
I hated soda as a kid (still do) because when I first tried it I called it "spicy juice" and I've never liked spicy food. So she's not the only one
I do like that name
The way it stings the mouth and hurts a little is similar to a spicy food
Firefoxwaffles I’m the exact same! I don’t like soda and spicy food, so I called everything with sting “spicy”
As someone who prefers fizzy water... I thank you for putting my mind at ease.

You have been a great inspiration for me to start my own TH-cam channel ,wanted to thank you and say that you are doing a great job!👍
Your videos are not bad👍. Subscribed
Thanks for that accurate information. For all those prepers, storing fizzy water is an excellent idea since the pressurised bottle will keep the water longer than tap water.
Cool! 👍🥳 Thanks for the info! Until you discussed this, I had no idea! 👍😁🌷
Phew, I thought my bubbly mineral water (the cheap stuff, 17 British pennies for 2 Litres, cos I'm classy like that!) was about to become a poisonous material, thank goodness it's not, long live the bubbly burpy fizzy water stuff!!! :D
Poisonous? No. A vile waste of water, absolutely.
bloody hell, 17 pence? here it would be at least 1.50€ for that stuff!
i was about to get worried too:D its ~3.50$ for 12 cans here same price as any soda i suppose..
Where are you getting it from? Cos Asda have 4Litres for £1.03.
Dude... when did you guys stop using "pence," for pennies? That was one of my favorite quirks about British currency.

2:00 "This extra oxalate can then cristallise in the _bladder_ and cause _kidney_ stones." That's … that's not how this works. Unless it can somehow travel back _against_ the flow to get from your bladder into your kidneys. (Bladder stones are a thing, though.)
good catch!
THANK YOU! Really needed this.
And just like that, I learned something. 😊
Nice to find out that the constantly-villified food that everyone loves isn't evil for once
Even though I knew much of this, the conclusion was one I did not expect.
We were just discussing this! thanks so much for this.
Glad to know I can keep my fizzy water! I’d be so sad if it had to go the same way as soda. Still love regular water, but sometimes you just gotta have that bubbly!
Gotta agree with you. Water and milk is great for you but people gotta have SOME variety in their lives. I had my dentist tell me it was bad for me and her explanation was because it was carbonated.
SciShow: Carbonic acid in your soda is not hurting your teeth.
Me: YES! I can drink all I want!
SciShow: It's that other kind of acid in your soda that's hurting your teeth.
Me: ffF**K!
I mean, Coke is used for rust removal for a reason

i was hoping you'd cover the internal gaseous expansion (mainly the stomach) of regular fizzy drinkers, whether that's as serious as people make it seem like
Great info
ONE OF THE BEST TH-cam CHANNEL.
could you do a follow up saying what it does to our body rather than what it doesn't do to our body? Nevertheless, another high quality interesting video, great job!
Since it's just a weaker acid than the phosphoric acid in soda, I'm assuming it's just the same effects, but far weaker.
I expected this video to be about burping.
Fizzy water is the best. I can't stand most sodas, they're too sweet for me, but you get the nice refreshing buzz on your tongue from fizzy water without it even needing to be cold. Love it. Too bad it's not more common around the world.
It's almost a staple in Sweden. We also have dozens and dozens of different flavours added to it as well (mild flavour that is, it still tastes like sparkling water).
In the last few years it's definitely become more popular in the US, at least in some parts.
Its become a big deal in the north west u.s. Only soda I drink now. Grocery store carries several brands and lightly flavored.
I like fizzy water as a soda alternative & I prefer the taste of fizzy water to flat tap water. Got a Soda Stream to carbonate water at home & encourage drinking more water while adding less plastic to the landfill.
This is great news for me. I don't really like soda (except spicy ginger ale), but I love fizzy water.
Top g water
I'm not familiar with fizzy water having a bad reputation, and had never heard those tooth decay and kidney stone claims. Is it possible that this claims tend to be more prevalent in certain geographies?
Great drink on it's own. Sometimes I like to jazz it up a bit with lime and sea salt. It's called a lime sour. 1 juced medium lime to one ltr carbonated water. Salt to taste.
Combine in 1pt or 500 ml measuring cup lime and salt. agitate until salt dissolves. Add to soda water. Enjoy!
1:13 "phosphorous" (like "phosphoric") is an adjective derived from the noun "phosphorus", which is the actual name of the element. Such adjectives are used in chemistry to refer to cations of the corresponding element.
Correct. The suffixes ‘ic’ and ‘ous’ refer to the charge of the element.
I rarely drank soft drinks but would drink club soda like a champ...I also used to get kidney stones frequently, which I haven't suffered since cutting way back on club soda. While I admit that correlation is not the same as causation I figure its worth looking into as to whether some club soda brands may contain phosphorus if that truly is the kidney stone culprit.
It definitely depends because sparkling water doesn't have any added salts whereas many club sodas do. So if you're wanting to make sure, check the sodium content on what you're drinking and stick to ones that are no higher than normal water!

What does John think of the implications for his favorite drink - Diet Dr. Pepper?
When I was at uni, they said that carbonic acid doesn't really exist at all. From the spectrum of carbonic acid solution, there was no COH bond, only C=O and C-O-. So the solution was just dissolved CO2, which can react with H2O (water) to form H+ (acid proton) + HCO3- (bicarbonate anion) without storing any intermediate H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Technically, then, CO2 itself is a Lewis acid, which means it can accept electrons from another molecule.
The more you know!
Thank you so much! Without fizzy water, I’d be severely dehydrated, it’s all I drink so it’s good to know it’s not killing me!
I heard it's better for hydration than regular water.
I drink carboanted water with lemon juice. It tastes really good and helped me get off sugary sodas.
Apart from the educational content, the best part about SciShow's videos are these funny dad jokes in the comments
I drink club soda (plain carbonated water) almost every day. I realized what I like about soft drinks is the fizz, not the sugar or the coloring.
I started to have doubts about phosphoric acid back in high school, when I saw someone spill some Coke on a car hood, and the Coke removed some of the car’s paint. Then I read about how phosphoric acid can dissolve tooth enamel.
I wish I could somehow opt out of Brilliant ads on all my favorite science channels.

Right!?
I only drink soda, for the caffeine, & only on days I work, & not even every work day; I also purposefully flatten the bottles of Mountain Dew, before I can drink any. Other than for caffeine, only cause I work overnights, I drink water.
EDIT - Well that sounded weird....I flatten the...umm, decarbonate the Mountain Dew, before I drink it.
So I'm not sure I'm fully human, either, cause I'd rather drink water, tea, Vitamin Water, over soda/carbonated drinks, any day!
short answer: nothing
long answer: NOOTHING!
In the short term it increases burping.
@@garethbaus5471 not me
@@the_hanged_clown he's too powerful to be kept alive
What about citric acid? I've seen an experiment, where two milk teeth where put in cola and mountain dew respectively. Afer some weeks (I don't remember, how many) both were dried and weighed. The one exposed mountain dew lost considerably more weight then the one in cola.
Can y’all make a lot more vids on caffeine and maybe some other stuff in soft drinks? I would like a more in-depth talk over just the carbonic acid
I personally don't like carbonated water much, I don't like plain water much either, in summary I drink way too many sweetened beverages.
Here's a novel idea: let's not add disgusting amounts of sugar to cola, and then we don't have to add ridiculous amounts of phosphoric acid.
As has been mentioned by other comments, this would make it more bland, and thus less people buy it compared to sweeter drinks. The phosphoric acid doesn't entirely negate the sugar, it just curbs the sharp "sweet" taste to a more mellow sweetness that's just as sweet in the end, but less "in your face" about it. In the end, both products in their provided quantities work together to achieve the taste. Compromising on either compromises the taste that they sell. How about we try not buying those drinks instead?
Tim Robb already not buying those drinks bc they are TOO SWEET. Would def consider buying soda more often for special occasions if it wasn't so sweet I couldn't finish a can in a sitting.
It's been 20 years since I had any soda. I don't miss it.
Your hair disappeared behind your glasses @ 2:50 and it's magical.
I absolutely love carbonated water. I tend to buy the cheap off-brand kind ALDI sells that has some lime extract in it. Refreshing, no calories, no sugar, and now I know it’s not even really bad for your teeth. But my friends still think it tastes bad :(
The lemon Flavour has non calories ?
@@vacancierpermanent1238 For flavored sparkling water they use extracts from the fruits to flavor it, that or synthesized versions of the same chemicals found in the fruits responsible for their flavor. No sugar or sweeteners, just water, the flavor extract, and CO2.
Anyone who drinks more than 1 cola/diet cola per day should get their kidney function checked. I just got my blood work results back and no more diet pop for me. I'm glad carbonated water is still safe though.

Thanks for giving me the greenlight to replace all my water consumption with fizzy water.
'Mericuns concerns about carbonated water makes me grin, considering the over-chlorinated stuff they serve accompanying their meals.
don't know if it's any health concern; It just tastes nasty.
I see! Thats why my teeth always feels weird after drinking cola.
That's why I use straws, less contact with the teeth that way
I was thinking that Pepsi and coke make my teeth feel chalky I hate it
do you swish your drinks?
That's because the acid disovles the natural protein layer on your teeth that would protect them from the acid. It takes hours to regenerate this so it's free real estate for bacterias to melt your teeth with their acid
That you for the informative video! So can it be assumed that those home made soda machines, i e. Soda stream, is phosphoric acid free and totally safe to drink?
Awesome 😎
I hate it when people tell me that them drinking their daily Diet Coke is the same as me drinking a fizzy water.
Lets face it, sparkling water is just angry water, who wants that
Hank green for the win
Glad this popped up. Just started to drink soda water to stop drinking beer
