Here’s your takeaway: carbonated water hydrates you perfectly. It’s not a second-class citizen in the beverage kingdom. It’s just regular water wearing a party hat.
So if you’re the type who buys a case of seltzer every week and feels a little guilty—stop. You’re doing great. Your cells are getting the same hydration they would from a glass of tap water, just with more excitement.
Next time someone tells you, “That stuff doesn’t count,” you can smile and say, “Actually, science says it does.” Then hand them a can of their own. You might just convert them to the bubbly side.
Cheers to that—bubbles and all.
