>>8543900

This shit IS soda, apparently it's just as bad as soda and you're better off drinking a 0.0 beer with a squeeze of lemon if that's what you crave.

sup OP, 508 here. Can get like 48 of these cans for $10 at Market Basket. Delicious, calorie and sugar free, and still performs the necessary function of scraping the solubles from the taste buds so that every bite of food is as good as the first.
>god tier beverage here.

the only "bad for you" part of canned seltzer water is the carbonic acid that makes it bubbly. flat water has a pH of 7. Canned seltzer has a pH of around 5. Soda has a pH of around 3. But the scale is algorithmic, not linear. Each jump of 1 is 100 times greater than the previous notch. Plus, canned soda has sugars, so if the carbonic acid strips away a little enamel or whatever is forming a buffer between lose sugar in your mouth and your raw tooth, the sugars can get in and start to cause problems. There's just about no sugar in polar, so, yeah. not a problem. Also, your saliva basically neutralizes the carbonic acid profile when you take a gulp. So yeah, its nowhere near as "bad for you" as soda. As far as contributing to obesity, soda does, because the sugars, mixed with whatever trans or saturated fats, combine to tell your brain you aren't full. Carbonated water, on the other hand, strips away lose fats in your mouth and makes you feel fuller, sooner.
>drink up, polar fans.

I fucking love seltzer. It's like soda but doesn't ruin your teeth or make you fat

>>8543890
Most places don't have Polar even within the US

Other seltzer tastes like ass

It's Boxed, mentioned it in the parentheses but I can see where that might have been confusing.

Yea seltzer helped me cut soda out of my diet for the most part but I still can't give up beer.
