You have seen seltzer water reference in a few of the posts here now.
Some of you have asked “what’s the deal with seltzer water”?
Facts:
It is water.
It’s not bad for you.
It’s a great substitute for soda if you like fizzy drinks.
It feels fresh and clean bubbling on your teeth.
It has zero calories, though you can mix it with fruit juice for a low-calorie drink.
You can make it at home (I do, with a sodastream carbonator).
Some people find it eases nausea and indigestion
Comparison:
Seltzer no calories no sodium
Club soda no calories some sodium
Tonic water some calories some calories and quinine
Watch for:
Flavored seltzer waters with ingredients other than “fruit essence” or a natural fruit flavor extract
Make sure you read the labels!
Some fruit flavored carbonated waters are sweetened with artificial sweeteners which have their own health concerns.
