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 🤙🏽
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
After seeing this video I started drinking plain carbonated water before sleeping, along with magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2. I sleep a lot better now. I also drink carbonated water with meals, and whenever I want to settle my mind. Thank you so very much!
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.
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.
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!.
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!
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 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
Took a drink from my bottle of carbonated water, opened UA-cam 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 🙂
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!
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.
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
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
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. 👏👏👏
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 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!
My mom was having horrible leg cramps last year and her doctor prescribes quinine. It didn't help at all. I suspected electrolite issues so had her take 1/4 tab a day in water. No more cramps! Now i will make it carbonated. Thank you for your generous channel!
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
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.
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.
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.
I’ll listen to anything this Doctor says, I was heading in a bad direction with my health and found your channel and it completely changed everything around the best bloodwork I’ve ever done since I been an adult
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.
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! 🙏 💙
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
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 have had doctors tell me to not use carbohydrated water, but it helped me with thick mucus in my throat, so I ignored their advice! Along with the push to drink excess water making my incontinence problem worse! Anyway thankful for this video and your updated water video!
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.
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.
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.
First video from you that I've seen. I'm in. Love the way you explain your sources and deliver complex information that this layman here can flow. Thanks!
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'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’m Italian and San Pellegrino has always been considered a medicinal water amongst Italians…. And water in some of our streams in the mountain villages increase or decrease blood pressure and is lightly sparkling water naturally in the spring…..
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?
I am from Germany and there you do drink a lot of carbonated water. In Canada I stopped drinking it. Then, last summer, I started drinking it again because of the very hot temperature we had. I have noticed right away that carbonated water quenches thirst more than anything else. It is very hydrating. The a couple of month later I noticed that my teeth, which were very stained, were white again. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg for the video.
In the Vulkaneifel area, there's even natural carbonated water springs. I was mind blown when I found out. It's amazing. Just hold your empty bootle underneath the tap and fill it with sparkling water erupting from the deepest underground reservoirs
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.
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 🤩
This channel used to be one of my favorites, However now it had definitely become my favorite of them all.Ive started taking the Doctors advice and I've never felt more better.I used to prefer carbonated water to still but remember being told carbonated wasn't healthy for you also the same about being told not to eat eggs as full of cholesterol which would cause heart attacks.Once again thanks to this guy iam feeling positive about my healthy future.
I heard all this to along with other stuff so I gave up listening and have balanced diet that hasn't killed me yet 😂😂😂 I eat eggs, butter and was just thinking the other day that I want to start back drinking carbonated water as it eases constipation when ever I am. Also I some time may crave a fizzy drinks but don't buy it. So sparkling water is the next best thing I guess
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.
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.
Great video. I've been drinking lemon juice with stevia for about 15 years - started off just as a refreshing drink after working in the heat outside in the tropics. I drink soda stream with lemon juice outside of meals. If I want to drink with a meal, I put apple cider vinegar with stevia into the soda stream to help digestion... amazing how much it helps when eating heavier foods.
Dr. Berg, I’ve been drinking more carbonated water since I watched this video about 4 weeks ago, I FEEL GREAT! I really like drinking it after a workout and in afternoon at work (I work in a warehouse and I sweat A LOT). Thank you sincerely, I really like your channel ❤😎😁😁
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
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. ...
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! 😃
@@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.
Thank you for this video!! I have been using Perrier for years for panic attacks, gassy stomach and it helps me breathe better too! This confirms its benefits. 😊
For the last few months I’ve been having carbonated water regularly. It’s like the second or third thing that I’ve implemented in my diet that you made a video on shortly after.
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.
Whoa! For the past month, I have been thinking about getting one of those countertop machines that carbonate water, and I couldn't figure out why I had such an urge to do it. There are many things in this video that hit home! My late husband, his father, and now (as of her diagnosis one month ago) his mother have all passed away from cancer that metastasized before diagnosis. I am in my early 50s without disease, and not on any medications. I do not eat grains or anything with 'added sugar,' but I quit eating some naturally occurring sugars a month ago to reduce inflammation. This video touches on the topics I have recently been thinking about and dealing with, and I will DEFINITELY carbonate my water!
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! :)
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.😀
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 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
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've a physical job working outside all day , and recently I've been drinking sparkling water and I've noticed such a difference and I do find it so much more refreshing.
Actually I accidentally discovered or noticed that drinking carbonated water, or sparkling water as we’d say here in Ireland, tends to be very helpful in at easing the acid from hiatal hernia when it’s in a bad phase.
I bought my own carbonated drink maker about a year ago and greatly love it. Usually I just carbonate regular water and drink it that way. I might mix it in with shochu (an alcoholic drink here in Japan) maybe add some lemon juice and it is quite good. Another plus I wasn't expecting, was that I can get more out of a can of beer by mixing in about a quarter or a third of cold carbonated water into a glass partly filled from the beer. It really doesn't thin out the taste the much, hardly noticeable if it's a good beer to begin with and not the thin watery type, and I get more volume from the can without consuming more alcohol. I drink it for the refreshment and taste, not really need the alcohol for anything, and it works great, especially this year after coming home from the hot days at work. I might be tempted to pop open another can if i didn't add the bubbly water to quench my thirst.
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.
FINALLY !!! You answered why I always have the feeling my body cells absorb more water when drinking carbonated water. At first I thought it was because it increases my low stomach acid 'cause I even top up herbal tea with carbonated water which just feels right - for me. You have added a slightly different slant and THANK YOU so much for that.
If you have low stomach acid then you're low in potassium. Almost everyone us deficient as we need around 5000 mg of it and must of it comes from veggies and fruit. The acidic nature of c02, vinegar, etc helps in times of low acid, so it does help temporarily and I'd encourage it to relieve symptoms
Thank you..and yes have been taking Potassium C which also for a few years now which also is good against kidney stones. I also have a gallstone so that adds to digestive/ absorption problems. :))) Good that there are so many supplements and independent advice on (foods) available. Thank you again.
@@9StarKee Olive oil has been proven to help break up gallstones. Take some everyday along with bile acids or Tudca. Olive oil causes the liver to produce bile. gallbladder/liver stones are caused by a lack of bile as it causes the liver to become congested and sluggish, resulting in stones.
I've been drinking carbonated water daily (about 1.5L) for the past 7 years. I had no idea why I like it so I find your conclusions interesting. Many thanks
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.
I'm so happy to find this information. I have been drinking carbonated water that has a little natural fruit flavor in it--no salt, sugar, or anything else, and wasn't sure if it was healthy to do that or not. I'm so glad to learn that it's okay.
You can get plain carbonated water or buy the machine and add fresh lemon or lime juice which is natural check the sugar on your regular drink may have 2-5 grams per serving
Thank goodness! Carbonated water is all I drink and I've gotten comments on how it's not great because of the acidity, which you thoroughly explained is not as black and white. This is amazing info. I'm also learning that I have a vascular disease and would swear to my doctors that I feel calmer almost immediately after chugging a glass.
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 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.
Glad i found this vlogg. I dont feel good drinking plain water, i get heartburn! But bubbly water makes me feel great! So good to know i can drink it quilt free now:) thx
I love all of your information it completely resonates with me :)) I have had type 1 diabetes for 25 years and I fell into intermittent fasting without knowing it was a ‘thing’ lol just bc I felt better and it was easier not to deal with the sugars before 3pm I have had to lie to my doctors for years bc they want the 3 meal 2 snack a day plan and that just made me hungry all day and put me into a sugar roller coaster. I also feel more dehydrated the more water I drink and found seltzer to make me feel better. The doctors say that seltzer is not real hydration. Thank you for validating all of my so called bad habits 😃😅🙏
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
Glad to help!

@@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.
Yay🎉 sometimes like with cigarette smoking, we enjoy the deep breath ..not the smoke necessarily...for me anyway Circa 1979.!!!
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 🤙🏽
Cracking open an ice cold Lacroix is oddly satisfying. Good for cravings.

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.

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.
♥️♥️♥️
After seeing this video I started drinking plain carbonated water before sleeping, along with magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2. I sleep a lot better now. I also drink carbonated water with meals, and whenever I want to settle my mind. Thank you so very much!
That's awesome. Stay safe and healthy!
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.
I found my Soda Stream didn't get it very carbonated. Is there a secret?
@@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.
@@JSmith73 it’s always been this way.
@@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.
What brand soda stream would you recommend? I have wanted to get one...but there are so many to choose from.
I've switched from sodas to sparkling water 15+ years ago. It quenches my thirst minus the sugar of soda much better than regular water.
I switched from beer to carbonated healing water and it keeps me satisfied in a situation I`d normally drink beer. Awesome !
Being HOLISTIC , anything that does NOT produce naturally in the NATURE, imho should not be advocated or consumed regularly.

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!.

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 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.
And better for digestion, now I understand why Italians use so much of it.
Makes me wonder if that's an overlooked aspect of diets worldwide. Could explain why folks who imbibe are able to counteract the effects of pasta.
Oh maybe that is the reason why Argentinas drink carbonated water with their coffee... Italian influence.
@@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
Well you would gain 400 g weight of pasta temporarily I guess, but no fat 😂

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.
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!

@@Rose-hx9vk Pellegrino has a safer pH. You can add things to the water to do this.
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.
I heard it neutralizes the acid in stomach. So dont drink it when eating. But now I guess not!
@@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?

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
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 have had doctors tell me to not use carbohydrated water, but it helped me with thick mucus in my throat, so I ignored their advice! Along with the push to drink excess water making my incontinence problem worse! Anyway thankful for this video and your updated water video!
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.
Rewatch the video, Dr. Berg literary said that carbonated water is acidic.
Except soda-water doesn´t have CO2, or maybe it does???
it's not a soda if it's not carbonated ;)
My family would give us ginger ale or club soda for upset stomach.
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.
You felt better bc alcohol dehydrated you
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.

I think a lot of places call it sparkling water, cause the bubbles do make it sparkle. It's pretty

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?
I am from Germany and there you do drink a lot of carbonated water. In Canada I stopped drinking it. Then, last summer, I started drinking it again because of the very hot temperature we had. I have noticed right away that carbonated water quenches thirst more than anything else. It is very hydrating. The a couple of month later I noticed that my teeth, which were very stained, were white again. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg for the video.
In the Vulkaneifel area, there's even natural carbonated water springs. I was mind blown when I found out. It's amazing. Just hold your empty bootle underneath the tap and fill it with sparkling water erupting from the deepest underground reservoirs
I have use carbonated waters to ease my way off of beers and soda when my consumption became too much. Worked like a charm.
Wow awesome data! Thanks for sharing ❤
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.
Same!!
Yep
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.
no problems with getting more holes in teeth? There was talk that dentists noticed deteriorating teeth
when families got Sodastreams...

I can’t imagine where my health would be without Dr Berg! Thank you!
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 🤩
This channel used to be one of my favorites, However now it had definitely become my favorite of them all.Ive started taking the Doctors advice and I've never felt more better.I used to prefer carbonated water to still but remember being told carbonated wasn't healthy for you also the same about being told not to eat eggs as full of cholesterol which would cause heart attacks.Once again thanks to this guy iam feeling positive about my healthy future.
I heard all this to along with other stuff so I gave up listening and have balanced diet that hasn't killed me yet 😂😂😂 I eat eggs, butter and was just thinking the other day that I want to start back drinking carbonated water as it eases constipation when ever I am. Also I some time may crave a fizzy drinks but don't buy it. So sparkling water is the next best thing I guess
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.
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.
Great video. I've been drinking lemon juice with stevia for about 15 years - started off just as a refreshing drink after working in the heat outside in the tropics. I drink soda stream with lemon juice outside of meals. If I want to drink with a meal, I put apple cider vinegar with stevia into the soda stream to help digestion... amazing how much it helps when eating heavier foods.
I can not do Stevia, it makes me sick and nauseous - I wonder why.
Xylitol is better, we should plant more birch trees :)

Dr. Berg, I’ve been drinking more carbonated water since I watched this video about 4 weeks ago, I FEEL GREAT! I really like drinking it after a workout and in afternoon at work (I work in a warehouse and I sweat A LOT). Thank you sincerely, I really like your channel ❤😎😁😁
I recently made the switch from drinking Diet coke to polar seltzer water. What a difference! I feel so much better now.
Great!
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
That explains the Net Zero agenda. Thank you!
im sorry what? are u equating the human body and health with the rich elites wish to make the general population poorer and less mobile?@@sooky2253
Shouldn't you've been drinking alkaline water? There are so many conflicting stories.
@Jed-yp8yg if you get cancer, apricot kernels will get rid of it within 6 weeks. Western medicine is pure evil. I don't trust this doctor one bit.
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 😆
I feel exactly the same way.
same here
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. ...
Been drinking and loving Pellegrino for 50+ years for THESE same reasons ! It satisfies like no other
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 drink carbonated water alll the time, it helps with coughing ,dehydration and I just feel refreshed. I thought it was just me. Thank doctor 🌊👌🙏
Interesting, why does it help with coughing?
Most welcome! Be well!

@@Drberg Could you please advise if carbonated water fast will have the same effect as normal water fast?
@@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.
Thank you for this video!! I have been using Perrier for years for panic attacks, gassy stomach and it helps me breathe better too! This confirms its benefits. 😊

For the last few months I’ve been having carbonated water regularly. It’s like the second or third thing that I’ve implemented in my diet that you made a video on shortly after.

God bless you ❤
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.
Whoa! For the past month, I have been thinking about getting one of those countertop machines that carbonate water, and I couldn't figure out why I had such an urge to do it. There are many things in this video that hit home! My late husband, his father, and now (as of her diagnosis one month ago) his mother have all passed away from cancer that metastasized before diagnosis. I am in my early 50s without disease, and not on any medications. I do not eat grains or anything with 'added sugar,' but I quit eating some naturally occurring sugars a month ago to reduce inflammation. This video touches on the topics I have recently been thinking about and dealing with, and I will DEFINITELY carbonate my water!
I used sparkling water as a replacement for soda a couple of years ago. Sometimes you just want that carbonation. So glad I did!
Dr. & Mrs. Berg,
Your guy’s work ROCKS.
I always wondered why I crave carbonated water! I stopped drinking because people said it was bad ….So good to know it’s good for me .😊

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! :)

Right! So many glasses of water reduce stomach acid! He made videos on drinking too much water.
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 :)
How can it help with digestion when it neutralizes your stomach acid?
@@michaelmattichiii1595he probably meant , it helps with chest burning after eating alot of protien
@@user-og9nl5mt1b Carbonated water does not aid digestion,it hinders digestion!
@@michaelmattichiii1595 in this video he explained that carbonated water is slightly more acidic, Not alkaline
@@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.😀
Priceless information.
Thank you !
Most welcome! Be well!
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.

@@theresawolford9000 Thank you! 🥰💕
Right. Also, some of Dr Berg’s videos on the liver and on cancer may help.
i also drink san pelligrino
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
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing ❤
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've a physical job working outside all day , and recently I've been drinking sparkling water and I've noticed such a difference and I do find it so much more refreshing.
He is incredible . I wish there were more like him…… not a pill pusher.
Actually I accidentally discovered or noticed that drinking carbonated water, or sparkling water as we’d say here in Ireland, tends to be very helpful in at easing the acid from hiatal hernia when it’s in a bad phase.
I bought my own carbonated drink maker about a year ago and greatly love it. Usually I just carbonate regular water and drink it that way. I might mix it in with shochu (an alcoholic drink here in Japan) maybe add some lemon juice and it is quite good. Another plus I wasn't expecting, was that I can get more out of a can of beer by mixing in about a quarter or a third of cold carbonated water into a glass partly filled from the beer. It really doesn't thin out the taste the much, hardly noticeable if it's a good beer to begin with and not the thin watery type, and I get more volume from the can without consuming more alcohol. I drink it for the refreshment and taste, not really need the alcohol for anything, and it works great, especially this year after coming home from the hot days at work. I might be tempted to pop open another can if i didn't add the bubbly water to quench my thirst.
That is an interesting tip. I actually saw hop flavored carbonated water being sold which gets at the same idea I guess. I'll need to try it.
Great idea…I will try it with Asahi Breweries (love the taste of such beer).
Cheers from NYC 🗽
Thanks Dr B! Always bringing new info to us as we need it!
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.
That's not normal.
FINALLY !!! You answered why I always have the feeling my body cells absorb more water when drinking carbonated water. At first I thought it was because it increases my low stomach acid 'cause I even top up herbal tea with carbonated water which just feels right - for me. You have added a slightly different slant and THANK YOU so much for that.
If you have low stomach acid then you're low in potassium. Almost everyone us deficient as we need around 5000 mg of it and must of it comes from veggies and fruit.
The acidic nature of c02, vinegar, etc helps in times of low acid, so it does help temporarily and I'd encourage it to relieve symptoms
Thank you..and yes have been taking Potassium C which also for a few years now which also is good against kidney stones. I also have a gallstone so that adds to digestive/ absorption problems. :))) Good that there are so many supplements and independent advice on (foods) available. Thank you again.
@@9StarKee Olive oil has been proven to help break up gallstones. Take some everyday along with bile acids or Tudca. Olive oil causes the liver to produce bile. gallbladder/liver stones are caused by a lack of bile as it causes the liver to become congested and sluggish, resulting in stones.
Always humble like you say and yet always gives us his best to help us....how many Dr's do that...?
Thankyu Dr.Berg.
I've been drinking carbonated water daily (about 1.5L) for the past 7 years. I had no idea why I like it so I find your conclusions interesting. Many thanks
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!
Yes Lord I need to hear things like this today after losing over 30lbs

I would never have given Carbonated water a second thought, Dr Berg. You Sir, are an absolute star. God bless you !!
I'm so happy to find this information. I have been drinking carbonated water that has a little natural fruit flavor in it--no salt, sugar, or anything else, and wasn't sure if it was healthy to do that or not. I'm so glad to learn that it's okay.
Natural flavors are chemicals unknown
You can get plain carbonated water or buy the machine and add fresh lemon or lime juice which is natural check the sugar on your regular drink may have 2-5 grams per serving
Thank goodness! Carbonated water is all I drink and I've gotten comments on how it's not great because of the acidity, which you thoroughly explained is not as black and white. This is amazing info. I'm also learning that I have a vascular disease and would swear to my doctors that I feel calmer almost immediately after chugging a glass.

@@Drberg how does this interact with calcium if you have high levels?
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!
Unless you're using oxygen under pressure aka Hyperbaric chamber :) And ozone is great too! Oxidative stress is not bad :)
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’ve done it for year coz
I never liked tap water so was better to buy sparkling water love it so much !!
I never knew there was so much complexity behind carbonated water. I’ll have to try it.
Sure. Hope you will like it!

I love all of your information it completely resonates with me :)) I have had type 1 diabetes for 25 years and I fell into intermittent fasting without knowing it was a ‘thing’ lol just bc I felt better and it was easier not to deal with the sugars before 3pm I have had to lie to my doctors for years bc they want the 3 meal 2 snack a day plan and that just made me hungry all day and put me into a sugar roller coaster. I also feel more dehydrated the more water I drink and found seltzer to make me feel better. The doctors say that seltzer is not real hydration. Thank you for validating all of my so called bad habits 😃😅🙏
