Of course, we all know that drinking carbonated drinks is not healthy. Think about what can happen to your body and stomach an hour after consuming carbonated drinks? With that in mind, many have given up carbonated drinks and turned to mineral water. But is this a better choice than carbonated water? What is the truth about this?

Many people think that carbonated water removes calcium from the bones, causes tooth decay, but also a lot of other damage to the body. The first and most important thing that doctors are advised to do is check the label of the water they buy to make sure it does not contain additional salts or sweeteners.

In a recent issue of Time, five experts have talked about it and all were of the opinion that mineral water is healthy enough to consume. What was interesting, according to this publication, is the advice given by one of the doctors. He says carbonated water is a good alternative for anyone who wants to get rid of carbonated drinks.

But the two bone doctors added that carbonated water does not cleanse calcium from the bones. Sara Bleich, PhD, associate professor of health policy management at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, says that "mineral water is just like regular water, so it is harmless." This means that mineral water can be counted for daily consumption.
