We love carbonated drinks, but they also get a bad rap. What does bubbly water do to our body? Is it really bad for us?

But we humans are so stupidly advanced, that in Dexter's Lab, you want water and CO2 to go under high pressure and force it to form carbonic acid and then consume it and rely on some stupid researches backed by same soft drinks companies.

@Asiliea 4 жыл бұрын

As has been mentioned by other comments, this would make it more bland, and thus less people buy it compared to sweeter drinks. The phosphoric acid doesn't entirely negate the sugar, it just curbs the sharp "sweet" taste to a more mellow sweetness that's just as sweet in the end, but less "in your face" about it. In the end, both products in their provided quantities work together to achieve the taste. Compromising on either compromises the taste that they sell. How about we try not buying those drinks instead?

When I was at uni, they said that carbonic acid doesn't really exist at all. From the spectrum of carbonic acid solution, there was no COH bond, only C=O and C-O-. So the solution was just dissolved CO2, which can react with H2O (water) to form H+ (acid proton) + HCO3- (bicarbonate anion) without storing any intermediate H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Technically, then, CO2 itself is a Lewis acid, which means it can accept electrons from another molecule. The more you know!

30 years ago a student asked me why only the dark sodas contained phosphoric acid. I have been trying to find out ever since. I know it’s for the tart taste, but many clear sodas also have a tart taste, yet they have no phosphoric acid in them. Anyone know why?

@metayoshi1712 2 жыл бұрын

Malic, Citric, Tartaric, and Phosphorous are the four acids used in carbonated beverages depending on what kind of fizzy drink you buy. And all four tend to have a tart taste to balance the sweetness. Sometimes a combination of two of the mentioned acids are combined into one drink, hence why you will get a very strong, tart taste. Lemon-Lime soda - Citric Acid. Notable examples, Sprite + 7up + Sierra Mist.

Great drink on it's own. Sometimes I like to jazz it up a bit with lime and sea salt. It's called a lime sour. 1 juced medium lime to one ltr carbonated water. Salt to taste. Combine in 1pt or 500 ml measuring cup lime and salt. agitate until salt dissolves. Add to soda water. Enjoy!

crystalizing in the bladder means it cant be kidney stones it would be bladder stones. to be kidney stones wouldnt they have to form in the kidneys? however if the stones in the bladder grow big enough they can block the drain tube and cause pain. however we go to the bathroom a lot so the bladder gets drained so i doubt the stones would grow big enough to cause problems. stones that form in the kidneys can grow big enough to cause problems and treatment is usually ultrasonic blasting that breaks them up so rarely do you have to have surgery.

Hang on a minute!! THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM per se BUT, at 02:02 you say “crystallises in the bladder and causes kidney stones”!! I’ve had kidney stones lots of times and I also know a wee(!) 😉 bit about urology.... when urine is formed it goes FROM the kidneys TO the bladder and NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND, as is hinted at (02:02) in your otherwise fine and dandy video. Just thought I’d better let you know!!!!! 👍
