10 Highly Acidic Foods
Highly Acidic Food #8: Carbonated Water
We’ve already mentioned that soft drinks are bad for you. Unfortunately, it’s not just the sugar in them that’s acidic. The carbonation itself can be considered a risk to health, so people who reach for a tonic water instead of a soda should still be careful.
The carbonation in these beverages generally comes from carbonic acid. This means that the pH value of these drinks is about 10 times more acidic than what you will find in tap water. Drinking carbonated water once in a while isn’t that dangerous. However, make sure you don’t swap out drinking tap water for carbonated water.
