There are doctors who care and doctors who do not care. This doctor cares so much that he takes time to help us all understand nutrition, not just medication. Very intelligent man here. Again, thank you for caring
@@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.
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 🤙🏽
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.
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.
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 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!
One of the best things about this dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he uploads something. He always respects us, the audience, and he is always full of energy in his videos. Keep up the hard work!!
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!
Wow- that is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! Would you mind using this link to share your success story and tell us more about your journey? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg would love to hear about it.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
i actually started to drink carbonated water instead of sodas in order to reduce my sugar intake, it's been going well, wondering if all i ever wanted from the soda was the sugar or just the feel of carbonated water...maybe both but hey, im doing the change now, its gonna make a difference for sure in the long run
This is why I drank carbonated water, from LA Croix brand. To get a flavor and fizz without sugars and colors and caffeine. It worked. I love the water and still drink it often everyday. I did that 3 yrs ago, it took just a couple weeks to lose cravings for coke. I might have one now maybe once every couple months and I may or may not even finish it when I do.
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
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!
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.
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 👊🙏
I think your body has to be in a different state initially before getting the same result from it. Most people today are so poisoned from the stuff pushed on us that a carbonated drink won't taste like anything.
Dr. Berg, this flies in the face of what most doctors tell a person if they have any kind of acid reflux condition. They tell us the to avoid carbonated beverages because it brings up more acid! On the other hand I grew up working in my parents soda fountain and and ice cream store, and we made New York style egg creams and phosphates which are delicious drinks made with seltzer water which has seen to have gone out of style now.... But I will tell you our customers who were from the older generation always asked for glass of seltzer water... Most of the older folks would have a glass of seltzer water to drink when they were thirsty... There is something to feeling your thirst being quenched with cold seltzer water, I always thought that it was just the sensation of the bubbles the feeling of the carbonation that people enjoyed!
I felt this very much when changing from normal water to soda water, my stomach feels so much better and I notice that due to that I'm actually much more hungry than more. I guess the only possible trade off is the additional acid which could over time have a small issue on your teeth. Haven't noticed anything in the short term though thus far.
@@kisigma1011That is completely wrong because a straw is not separating from what you're worried about. In this case the teeth. Drinking once a week would be better. Seemingly better, but you're still drinking and causing harm
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.
@@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
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! 🙏🏻😎
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!.
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.
Fascinating….especially learning about hypoxia and the affect on cancer and metastasis, and how CO2 is bumped up naturally acquired via exercised rain, hot springs, rain, etc. Would like to understand whether carbonated drinks to target (infused low/no sugar seltzers?) vs shy from (sugared sodas)… Thanks in advance! And thx for your vids! 🙏 💙
This channel is an anomaly. The videos are to the point, informative, and lacks all the overstimulating pageantry of any other channel with millions of subs
Yes, so glad we can do carbonated water! When I'm craving a soda, this is my go to! It is so refreshing and I can drop in lemon, lime, or other fruit to make my own natural soda.
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 😆
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. ...
I recently had a craving for sparkling water, and got a case of Perrier. Someone told me it was bad for me( carbonated water) that I might as well drink a soda without the sugar, and now this. Simply amazing. Thank you Dr. Berg ♥️
Idk how anyone can even say that Perrier is the equivalent to soda😂😂😂 Where is the sugar in Perrier? Some ppl love to talk out of their arses. Keep doing what you do and to he## with what the ppl say. 👏👏👏
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.
@@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!
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.
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.
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!
Took a drink from my bottle of carbonated water, opened RU-vid 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 🙂
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.
@@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 stopped drinking carbonated water because there is alot of articles saying it leaches calcium from the bones, so I stopped drinking it and I really miss it.
Thank you! I started drinking sparkling water (Pelligrino) about 10 weeks ago, along with fasting 18-22 hours per day. I have been feeling amazing and you have confirmed it indeed is working.
@absfinal But I recently read that a lot of carbonated natural sping waters have too many metals in them. I'd rather have carbonated tap water thats treated.
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.
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.
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.
Please don't ever stop making videos Dr. Berg, even when your hairs will all turn grey, we will keep on watching your videos, coz we love you Dr. Berg and all the things we learn from you to help keep us healthy. I never knew about Nutritional Yeast until I watched your videos, and it becomes a staple now, and I eat Kimchi and Sauerkraut regularly now because of you. And many many more 🤩
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.
As a european living in America I don't understand why there is no sparkling water here. No one drinks it. I always have to get Perierre water. I dont like the fake sparkling water where they add the co2 later. I like sparkling natural spring water.
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.
Thank you for this information. I've been drinking carbonated water since 2004 when I was having panic and anxiety attacks, the carbonated water makes me feel better. It is refreshing and helped me to stop drinking sodas.
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!
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!
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.
For a while now I drink carbonated water after a work-out or a big meal. And I feel more hydrated and it helps with digestion. I watched this video and what you said made a lot of sense to me because I could feel those benefits, but I never understood why I felt like it was aiding me. Thank you for explaining :)
@@hexchad765 In due respect that is not the issue.All versions of carbonated water contain C02 which will neutralize stomach acid all day every day.When you eat a meal,you need lots of acid to digest well,not pouring in carbonated water to neutralize the acid. Remember Alka Seltzer ? What did all of the bubbles do?Drinking any carbonated beverage during a meal is not a good idea.😀
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
This topic was very timely for me. I enjoy drinking carbonated water, but had recently read that it was acidic and not healthy. Your in-depth explanation is very helpful. Thank you!
I believe in another video he stated that he uses a straw to protect his teeth when drinking carbonated water as well as when he adds apple cider vinegar to his water; however, I might be wrong. Be well.
@@MOAB-UT Zahnärzte geben Entwarnung: "Kohlensäure ist nicht schädlich für die Zähne, hier handelt es sich ja 'nur' um CO2", erklärt uns Roland Frankenberger, Präsident der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Zahn-, Mund- und Kieferheilkunde (DGZMK).
This is very interesting I love my carbonated water it really helps me feel better after meals or even when I'm feeling nauseous...love it ..thank you Dr Berg ...I'll watch the next one now ❤
I love carbonated water, thanks for the video, there is not much out there on its benefits. I see you mention S Pellegrino and Pierre on the list. These were both bought out by Nestle sometime ago, we should avoid that company for many reasons, but one main one is they can't be trusted. They don't taste good and wouldn't surprise me if it's now just carbonated tap water with heaps of fluoride. There are some good local owned mineral waters out there, here in australia good brands are Capi and Hepburn. We get our water from a local mineral spring in a Daylesford region and carbonate it ourselves, and if we need use tap water we have a flouride remover (RO filter).
i have no doubt that all the brands nestle bought out are now just tap water. That company is only capable of bad things. S Pellegrino taste crap, not sure if it was better before Nestle ran it but i heard it was. Unfortunately in most shops it is the only sparkling water available. I just make my own at home now
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!
Magnesium (500g per 100 lbs body weight) and co-factors like K2.. have halted mine.. proper breathing as well. I have called an ambulance a few times from the attacks.. it was so bad.
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.
Thank you for this video. I never drank water and everything I heard said I had to drink 8 glasses of water a day and I could never do it. I discovered La Croix last year and I love it and drink well over 8 glasses a day now. But I always had the thought in my mind "Isn't carbon dioxide bad for me?". I trust you, so thanks! :)
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.
@@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.
@@Drberg for over 3 years now i mostly eat once a day (at night) drink like 2-4 cups of black tea(Tetley) witch skimmed milk and no sugar, still i keep adding weight and my stomach is getting really big, i dont have a sedentary lifestyle, walk up hill for 1.5km to class and 1.5km downhill back 5 times a week. even drinking water makes my tummy protrude.
@@tobastronI am not Dr. Berg, but I can relate. Intermitted fasting is great, but better not eat 3 hrs before going to bed. Give your body time to digest the food. And I went way better with my stomach when I stopped drinking milk, and I nerver really drank milk, just the small amounts in my coffee. Made a huge difference. Then look at the amount of carbonhydrate. When I fill myself with carbonhydrates my stomach blows up. Alsways good to know the body actually does not need carbonhydrates to survive.
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.
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.
I’ve always loved my sparkling water, since i was a kid. When am outside in the heat and i take a few sips of nice cold carbonated water i feel refreshed right away. With regular water even if i gulp down 2-3 big glasses at once i still feel thirsty. Never quite understood why I thought thats just me.
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.
Good morning Dr.Berg. You are making my day! I have been watching your videos recently on the subject of getting more oxygen into my cells. I have mild asthma and a slight inverted septum, which restricts my lungs. I am happy to heat you use a device to carbonate.
Caryn Dalton- Sorry my error. Not enough coffee! My mother had a deviated septum and repaired so she could finally breathe through her nose. I was born with an inverted septum, where my rib cage is not fully expanded. Now they can correct this . Not in my day.
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.
@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!
I used to drink a lot of soda. I bought a Soda Stream back in 2018. I haven't had soda since. This video has made my day! Thank you for posting. Cheers
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 drink iced perrier with limes every day - and I had been feeling so guilty for drinking it for years because we've been brainwashed that carbonated waters are bad for us (without explanation) until now. Will enjoy it guilt free now - thank you Dr. Berg!
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
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. 😊
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.
Interesting, I love la croix's but I feel less hydrated when I drink them but you speaking to your effects reminded me of when I would drink Voss sparkling water. It had finer bubbles and probably less CO2 I wonder if there is a balance to it depending on your body.
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
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.
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
Morning Dr Berg! Sorry for my ignorance.... Is this water the same as the sparkling water? By the way, I've heard that the sparkling water makes the blood acidic...
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video!! 😍 I pretty much only drink carbonated water - I love my Sodastream (don't use syrups!). I find the taste a flat water boring and always feel way more refreshed than if I just drank reg water. I also have EXTREMELY low blood pressure (even on Vyvanse) so keeping myself hydrated is essential. Ppl in my family questioned if it was healthy for me to mainly drink carbowater so now I can throw this in their face! - I mean, educate them 😂
I DO breath better when it rains or storms! I thought it was "negative ions" doing that but so interesting if there is a CO2 connection to it as well. I love your videos and research going way back but recently as well with more current info on genes and so forth. Thank you!
I've read in the past 1 article (without checking the studies where it was based on), that they aren't aware on how the CO2 is neutralized in the body. Suggestions were made that Calcium of the bones is used for that and as a consequence it could be bad for the strength of your bones.
I have been wondering about this. Temporarily living with poor quality tap water (it's drinkable but tastes awful) so I bought some cans of soda water to have on hand and find them super refreshing. Good to know that it's actually healthy. Thanks again, Doc!
This is our main drink in Germany Mineralwasser, when you go to a Gasthaus/Pub, and ask for water that is what you will be served-also typically no ice. Just refrigerator cold.
Wow! 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?
Another great video! I drink Pellegrino every day and love it! I always heard it wasn't good for you, but I am happy to find out that it is OK after hearing your explanation. Thank you! 😃
I’m glad to hear this, I always loved carbonated water but stopped drinking it because ( I just checked) I incorrectly believed it removes calcium from the bones However that was only for Cola carbonated water in the Framingham study because cola contains phosphoric acid. WELL thank you Dr. Berg once again, now I can have my unflavored club soda etc again and benefit from it 🌟
Now I know why, as a child, we were always told to drink 7UP or Sprite when we felt bad, especially stomach related issues. The carbonated water was the benefit, of course the rest of it, terrible for us.
My mother always gave us ginger ale, which was the original "stomach soother" because of the ginger and the bubbles. So the 7Up and Sprite probably evolved from that even though they weren't as effective.
I find this a little confusing as I kept reading that carbonated water depletes Thiamine (B1). I was B1 deficient and took benfotiamine to address my foot neuropathy as Dr Berg suggested. (Working- thanks). I had to stop my addiction to carbonated water in case the B1 depletion was true. Confused.
Dr Berg should do more research on this, too many people say what you have said. Do you know of any reputable sources showing negative effects of carbonated 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.
I tried drinking carbonated water and if you have any sort of acid reflux historically or even just from eating spicy food occasionally you will find that carbonated water on a regular basis i.e. daily will wreak havoc on your throat. I am about the same age as Dr. Berg and I have improved my health drastically from his videos but this one I have to disagree. I cannot recommend carbonated water.
Just some negative risk factors (meaning you don't need to change your behaviour unless you have these issues): carbonated water can cause irritation to your urinary tract, and cause increased night time urination. For some it can relieve gas and bloating, or increase gas, bloating and cramps. Drinking carbonated water close to bed time has been linked to night time leg cramping. If you know of any others, please share!
