Takes 2 minutes to make, and you can add more or less fizz how you like it.
Slice of lime to garnish.

Also, is there any possibility that sparkling water is good for you? Need some expert opinion on this video.
Why You Should Drink Carbonated Water
carbonated water is good for you in that it’s water, and the first minute of that video is chemically accurate information, but after that it’s all theories that are very similar to the recent alkalinity craze, attributing most of the things he’s talking about to an alkaline pH level instead of an acidic pH level in your blood.
blood pH level resets extremely quickly, often within minutes, so a lot of the benefits he’s talking about wouldn’t be gotten by drinking carbonated water unless you were drinking vast quantities all day(probably enough to be disruptive) considering the relative amount of liquid in your body and the rapidity with which your body balances internal pH level (it has to rapidly return to homeostasis or every time you ate something. your pH level would be thrown off and your organs would be chemically burned).
as far as the co2 baths themselves, your skin is an impermeable membrane, so you aren’t getting CO2 benefits in your organs like he’s talking about, except maybe as a second hand effect from the CO2 being released into the air from those baths, but again, that would be extremely minor and your body would stabilize that acidity within minutes.
All of that said, I like sparkling water and drink it because I feel like I’m having a treat but there’s no sugar or anything else so I think they’re good drinks in any case, but there is no data saying that drinking carbonated water is a good thing outside of being water, as this guy casually admits before theorizing and implying conclusions about the virtues of drinking carbonated water, leading to having more acidic blood. that’s whackadoo.
Thanks for the in depth analysis.
I did think the pH difference having an effect on cancer cells was far fetched.
While not straight pseudoscience, there is a string a what-ifs that don’t amount to anything concrete.
exactly, the “alkaline” people make almost identical claims about the brief shift in alkalinity of the blood.
you’re welcome I looked all this stuff up when the alkaline thing was a craze, and I saw very similar videos to the one you linked in response to the alkaline group about how acidic blood is better.
still, sparkling water rocks. what is that machine you have to make yours?
does it run on CO2 cartridges?
The machine is from an Australian company, Soda King, got the basic Spark model.
Runs on standard screw in 60L CO2 cylinders.
2-3 button pushes and all set.
Loving it (c:
very cool, so Is that able to carbonate on average 60L of liquid?
That’s pretty good
And I agree, I’m expecting soda water to be essentially the same health wise, as still water, just a slight buzz from the fizz.
