Fizzy or carbonated water dates back to the late 1800s, when it became popular for various reasons. It developed a false reputation as a disease preventive, and people took it on ocean voyages to drink because it tasted better than stored water. Today, it has become popular among people interested in the possibility that it may help with weight loss.
According to a recent report, fizzy water has modest potential to promote slimming effects. Yet the researcher who authored the report noted that the benefits are so minimal that people should not rely on them alone.
