The Sparkling truth about...
A dentist in London warns that most people have no idea that fizzy water is extremely acidic.
It is considered the virtuous option compared to other fizzy drinks. And it is often more refreshing than standard still water.
But sparkling water is not as harmless as most of us think - and is actually more acidic than wine and vinegar, the dentist has warned:
"Most people have no idea that fizzy water is extremely acidic. The bubbles erode your tooth enamel - and over time this causes painful, yellow cracked teeth. Sparkling water has an acidic level of pH3 on the acidity scale. With pH7 being neutral, the figures make alarming reading. By comparison, salad dressing (e.g.vinegar) has a pH3.6."
