If Carbon Dioxide Is Harmful For The Human Body Then How Do We Drink The Soda Drink If It Has Carbon Dioxide Dissolved In It?


If the level of Carbon Dioxide present in air is  from 2000 to 5000 ppm, Then it may starts to cause problems like headaches, insomnia, nausea.

But in Soda Drink ,very little amount (about 0.04%) of Carbon Dioxide is dissolved in it. The pH of carbonated water is 3–4, which means it's slightly acidic. Therefore, drinking carbonated water (Carbon Dioxide dissolved in water) does not make your body more acidic.
  • Carbonated water even has benefits for digestion. It may improve swallowing, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce constipation.
  • Sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages can erode tooth enamel, so it is not good for our Teeth.
  • Human kidneys and lungs remove excess carbon dioxide. This keeps blood at a slightly alkaline pH of 7.35–7.45 .
  • Drinking Excess of carbonated cola drinks may harm bone health.
