(Natural News) Sparkling water may seem like the healthier option when compared to soft drinks. One dentist asserts that may not necessarily be true, however. Dr. Adam Thorne, founder of the Harley Street Dental Studio, has deemed sparkling water as “more acidic than wine and vinegar.†The London-based dentist has told the DailyMail.co.uk that “most people have no idea that fizzy water is extremely acidic, it’s pH3 on the acidity scale. The bubbles erode your tooth enamel – and over time this causes painful, yellow cracked teeth.â€
The pH scale is a numeric scale that determines the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The numbers on the pH range from one to 14, with seven as the neutral number. Any aqueous solution with a pH lower than seven is deemed acidic, while anything with a pH greater than seven is alkaline or basic. This makes the pH level of sparkling water alarming considering that wine has a pH level of 3.6, as does vinegar.
