"Carbonation" and its "Carbon dioxide"


Okay . . . so yesterday we spoke about the "volume share" of "carbon dioxide" in our "carbonated" beverages . . .


And the example I gave of this "volume share" was this . . .


Cocoa-cola . . . 44.9% . . . vs . . . sparkling water . . . 4%


And this "volume share" of "carbon dioxide" . . . has to do with the amount of "ACIDITY" presented to the body.


Now . . . with this issue of "acidity" . . . "too" much "carbon dioxide" . . . presented to the body . . . can cause . . . headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins and needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.


Okay . . . so those are the "minor" issues with drinking any "carbonated" beverage . . .


And the "MAJOR" issues would be . . .


Diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, our ovaries and fertility


So with that being said . . . let's get back to the topic of "tooth enamel" we spoke of yesterday.


Now . . . due to the "acidity" of "carbon dioxide" in ALL carbonated beverages . . . even "carbonated WATERS" . . . this can lead to "EROSION" of our "tooth enamel".


And then . . . add to that . . . if this "carbonated beverage" has "SUGAR" added . . . we now have a "double" whammy of "erosion" and "demineralization" of our teeth!!!!


Okay . . . so let's better understand . . .
