A new study explores the potential impact of carbonated water on blood glucose levels and weight management. While some believe fizzy water may increase appetite, others suggest it contributes to fullness and fat burning. The study found that carbonated water temporarily lowers blood sugar but doesn't significantly contribute to weight loss. Experts emphasize the importance of a balanced diet and regular exercise for effective weight management.
Fizzy, sparkling, carbonated or seltzer — no matter what you call it, water that tickles your nose is fun and refreshing, and for some, a welcome change from its flat cousin. On social media, sparkling water has gained a following for its impact on body mass. Some believe fizzy water may increase weight, pointing to a February 2017 study that found carbonated beverages stimulate appetite by increasing ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
“Red blood cells cannot fully ‘burn’ the glucose, and it will be recycled by the liver,” said Keith Frayn, a professor emeritus of human metabolism at the University of Oxford in the UK, who was not involved in the study. “If fizzy drinks were to be shown to lead to weight loss, it would much more likely be through effects on feelings of fullness,” Frayn said in a statement.
