Carbonated WaterNeutral
Carbonated water is essentially water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure, creating bubbles. The carbonation process is generally considered safe and does not significantly alter the nutritional profile of the water. However, it may cause mild dental erosion over time if consumed excessively due to its slightly acidic nature.
