soda has carbonated water. orriginaly it was made with reguler water, someone accidently mixed in carbonated water instead of reguler water. this should help!

Water is H2O. Two hydrogen and one oxygen. Water is the universal solvent because it mixes well with most substances. Water is the most common and mysterious substances on earth. Water is suppose to be a gas ,but it's a liquid at room temperature. Water has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is another reason why water is the universal solvent it can dissolve just about any solute because the H and O are at 102o angel which means it can pick up most solutes. 97% of the earth's water is salt water will only less than 3% is drinkable. 70% of the earth's animals live in salt water. All animals need water.

Sugar in regular sodas makes that liquid denser, while diet sodas are lighter in their sugar content, thus they float.

Below is an excerpt from Real Dangers of Drinking Soda\n\nPhosphoric Acid: May interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones. Phosphoric acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients. \n\nSugar: Soft drink manufacturers are the largest single user of refined sugar in the United States. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar. \n\nAspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilispsy/seizures. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time or kept in warm areas it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens. \n\nCaffeine: Caffeinated drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some forms of cancer.\n\nTap Water: I recommend that everyone avoid drinking tap water because it can carry any number of chemicals including chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, cadmium, and various organic pollutants. Tap water is the main ingredient in bottled soft drinks. \n\nSoda is one of the main reasons, nutritionally speaking, why many people suffer health problems. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs.

No more so than drinking any liquid. At least with diet soda, you're not adding any calories to the mix.  In my experience, water can have that effect--at least a temporary feeling of fullness.  Plus water is better for you than soda.  Just don't overdo it.

Bicarbonate of soda mixed into a glass of water. When you need to burp, let it rip.

water itself, of course.\nThe following ions.....\niron ions, calcium ions, sodium ions, chloride ions, fluoride ions...\n\noxygen molecules, carbon dioxide molecules, sometimes around here hydrogen sulfide molecules.\n\nALMOST EVERYTHING is in water in minute concentrations.

Soda pop has gas and gas can bloat your stomach.

Water is made of covalent bonds, but they are polar-covalent bonds.  This means that water will dissolve anything with ionic bonds (salts) and also polar-covalent bonds (sugars).

The physics is sound, atleast on paper.\n\nbefore you ask the question : how does drink lose its fizz, you should be asking: what is fizz and how is it added to drinks in the first place.\n\nThe process of adding fizz to drinks is called carbonation. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is bubbled through water/drink under pressure. The gas reacts with water producing a very weak acid called Carbonic acid.\n\nH20 + CO2  --->  H2CO3\n\nCarbonic acid gives the twang or sharp taste to soda pop, beer, sparking mineral water and champagne.\n\nHowever carbonic acid is a very unstable compound and readily decomposes into water and carbon dioxide. The CO2 bubbles out of the liquid, what we observe and call fizz.\n\nWe can prevent the decomposition of carbonic acid, by creating conditions where the compound is stable, hence mantaining the fizz of the drink; viz: \nlow temperature and \nhigh pressure.\n\nRefridgeration helps like some of the other answerers mentioned.\n\nyour device seems to help by re-pressurizing the container, helping the remaining carbonic acid remain stable longer. It should work theortically, but how well it actually does depends on the particular design, on how much pressure it can create and how air-tight it is (it could leak slowly over time and lose the pressure) this would also depend upon how snugly it fits over the neck of bottles of different size. like I said, the design would determine the effectiveness. \n\nyou will only know how good it is from experience :)

I absolutely LOVE water! It is so refreshing. My favorite is Aquafina. :)

What do you drink instead of water?  If you drink soda and other high-calorie drink, you can consume a lot of calories in a small amount of time.  A lot of people don't think about the calories in the things they drink.

Water contains many dissolved ions, chief among them being Calcium and Magnesium. At high levels of alkalinity, event the CO2 present in the atmosphere or released from washing soda reacts with Ca2+ to give rise to CaCO3 and hence the milky appearance.

Martin, this was my original answer "No soft water is not harmful but soda is the worst thing for bones.  Did you drink soda as a kid?  In the next few years everyone will hear about the devastating effects of soda on developing bones." \nBUT THANKS TO YOU I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT MORE.  INDEED SOFT WATER MAY ACTUALLY BE TOO PURE AND LEACH SOME VITAL ELEMENTS ESPECIALLY CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM FROM THE BODY.  HERE IS AN INPORTANT WEBSITE: http://watershed.net/purified.htm, \nthanks MARTIN!

"Soda ash" is a common name for sodium carbonate, Na2CO3.  This chemical is very soluble in water.  Limestone is calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which is insoluble.  If you tried to use soda ash as an abrasive in a cleanser, it would simply dissolve as soon as it got wet.

1...because soda is a man made beverage full of crap.
