OK: It's OK to use. It may be good for some people especially if you have certain gastrointestinal problems. It may be a problem in people in whom excessive carbonation is not advised such as people with acid/alkaline imbalance. especially with excessive use.

Water is your FRIEND: H2O is your friend & deserves your attention by drinking it. So long as it is clean & free from added sugars, unnecessary & artifical flavors, toxins, & heavy metals, it can be sparkling or otherwise. Rumors about bad effects of carbonated water haven't been substantiated. Neither have all the positive hype except people with sparkling H20 machines at home tend to drink much less soda pop. BRAVA!

Plain water best: Plain old water is best if you want to be hydrated. Sparkling or flavored waters are fun to drink but not as good for hydration.

Water is water: Millions if not billions of people drink mineralized or sparkling water daily. Water is water. There is no bad in normal, natural water.
