Re: Carbonated Water/Carbonic Acid

[Guest guest]

Several years before I was diagnosed with RA, I noticed that I would

feel better drinking non carbonated beverages (sugar free Kool Aid,

Crystal Light or iced tea).

Although I love Diet Dr Pepper, I try to avoid carbonated beverages

when I'm having a flare up because soft drinks contain sodium which

aids in fluid retention; in fact diet soft drinks contain more sodium

than sugar soft drinks.

Pardon me, but I just wanted to say for those who love soft drinks, the only

one I've found that doesn't contain any salt at all is Diet Rite. It comes in regular

cola, tangerine, cherry and raspberry. I like the cola and cherry best. What's

great about this soda is that it's sugar free, calorie free, caffeine free AND

salt free. It's the ONLY soda I know that doesn't contain salt and says so right

on the carton/can. If anyone finds another brand without salt, please let me know

so I can change off occasionally, otherwise Diet Rite is just fine, I love it.

So actually all it contains is sugar free carmel flavor and carbonation, hence the

"0" everything....lol.
