Wha makes that different than regular soda water?

Working in a lab I had access to a digital weight scale. I once looked at the can of pepsi and saw that it contained 40 grams of sugar.

If you take a regular 8oz “Dart” styrofoam cup,” and fill it up almost half way with sugar, that’s how much sugar is in the can of pepsi.

I would never put that much sugar into a cup of coffee yet each time you finish off that can of pepsi that’s what your putting into your body.

Mike, this is quite an interesting ‘Reality TV’ episode. I agree with you 100% that water (and that is clean water!) rules supreme. While it hydrates the best, it adds ZERO calories. I suppose though that your machine carbonizes the water, i.e. dissolves CO2 in water and makes it slightly acidic. I would think that acidic water is not the most desirable, i.e. it would contribute to tooth decay and, if some of the literature is right, may also not help to keep or make your body alkaline.

Rather than sparkling water consume some tea! We consume all sorts of tea, green and white and sometimes black, but mostly herbal and/or fruit tea mixes, some are very delicious, hot or cold. For instance an apple peel or rosehip tea, slightly sweetened with Stevia is so delicious when cold, you can give it to your kid for school and it beats many of the fruit drinks with ZERO or near Zero calories, and NO sugar. And for 5 – 10 cents per 8 oz. of tea its extremely inexpensive.

My question is, wouldn’t your ATP process be the same? I can’t imagine that the chemistry isn’t that much different.
Thanks for your article.

I have seen carbonated soda water Fruit Punch made from dry ice. Are you talking Baking Soda? There is a difference or not?.

Shane, Would you pleas invest in a tripod or a stack of books to put the camera on? I get motion sickness looking at these videos!

Amen to that, I myself had the same thought about the motion sickness factor.

Hey, this gizmo is great, where can I get one? I always add a shot of “super fruit” concentrate (pomegranate, blueberry, mangosteen, Limu, etc.) to club soda/seltzer. But carbonated water on-demand is a great idea.

Good tea, by the way, is not 5-10 cents per 8 oz. High quality matcha tea, the green tea that media praises for its benefits can costs as much as 40-cents (or more) per cup. Other green teas are of low quality and does not contain the antioxidants we desire/expect.

Then the verdict’s out! If “a study” said it, then it must be so. Thanks so much for clearing that up…Don’t believe everything you read. No, carbonation wont leach calcium from your bones. No, not “every” reaction in the body is dependent on “calcium.”
