Is Sparkling Water Good for You?
Yes — plain sparkling water hydrates you just as well as still water, and research shows it does not meaningfully harm teeth or bones when it has no added sugar or acids. The key is choosing sparkling water with nothing added.
What the research says
- Hydration: carbonated water counts toward your daily fluid intake just like still water.
- Teeth: plain sparkling water is far less acidic than soda or flavored seltzers; the concern is sugar and citric acid, not the bubbles themselves.
- Digestion: some studies suggest carbonation may help with fullness and swallowing.
- Bones: only sugary colas have been linked to bone issues — plain sparkling water has not.
