Carbonated Water/Carbonic Acid

[Guest guest]

Hi All

Recently,in the posts there was some mention of the deleterious effects

of carbonated water and how it may affect our RA pain and

swelling.Please see below:

" Carbonated water, also known as sparkling water, fizzy water and

seltzer, is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been

dissolved, and is the major and defining component of most soft drinks.

The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It

results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical

formula H2CO3) " .(Wikipedia: " Carninated Drinks " entry)

Yep, we are drinking carbonic acid which is not good for our joints nor

teeth!!
