https://www.nytimes.com/2021/0...-water-benefits.htmlSad for me, because the only two things I drink, generally, are coffee and Perrier.

Piano*DadSounds to me like a mostly green light, unless you're an addict who guzzles the stuff.
Well, Quirt?

wtgYea, sounded like that to me.
But if you're going to drink the stuff, switch to Pellegrino....it's much tastier....

big alMy favorite when I lived in Brazil was Caxambu. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find it available here in the USA.

CindysphinxSounds like much ado about nothing to me. Every researcher is hell bent on making a name for him or herself. They don't even try to quantify the infinitesimal risk they are claiming is worthy of a news story. Oh, drinking carbonated water raises your risk of getting an owie in your tooth by .000001 percent?
Drink carbonated water if you like. Sheez.

Yes, pass the Pelligrino.

Piano*DadI'll drink to that!
I'm reminded of the far more important scare that the Women's Health Initiative perpetrated on women. They found a very tiny correlation between taking estrogen treatment and an increased likelihood of breast cancer (though all-type mortality actually went down). Women all over the country went to their OB demanding to be taken off the treatment and berating their physician for trying to kill them. Of course, the hormone replacement treatment was life altering (in a positive sense) for millions, but that absolutely tiny (though statistically significant because of the huge sample size) increase in the number of cases per million drove thousands off the treatment. They latched onto a single number among a blizzard of other numbers that offered a much more nuanced view.

wtgBased on the following info from the ADA (linked in the original NYT article), I definitely wouldn't be sweating the plain fizzy water. The flavored stuff is more of an issue....

The bottom line: Because carbonated water still has the potential to be erosive, think of it as a once-a-day treat rather than your main source of water, Dr. Seymour said.
“If you want to have two or three sparkling waters a day, perhaps pair them with a meal,” she added.
People can take that advice. Or not. It's not like a vaccine, where you're putting everyone around you at risk, too.

AdagioMThis article doesn’t even go into the scary “aluminum cans may cause Alzheimer’s!” bit.
My friends call fizzy water “dementia water” and we all drink it. I try to limit to one can per day, and that’s pretty easy.
Oh, plus the one glass of prosecco…

Mary AnnaAluminum cans are lined with plastic, so I think there's minimal aluminum exposure, but dangerous compounds could leach out of the liner.

This is not entirely accurate. It's true that estrogen replacement therapy significantly increases breast cancer risk. But the solution turns out not to be quitting estrogen. It's necessary to take both estrogen and progesterone together to do hormone therapy safely.
