How much does sparkling mineral water contributes to health? Does it actually provides minerals, and is it as hydrating pure water? My client likes to substitute this for alcohol?

Dr. Amy Nett:  I don’t generally use sparkling mineral water. I don’t generally recommend it specifically as a health food, but I think if someone’s using it as a substitute for alcohol, that’s a great substitute. So, if it’s just something that they’re having one or two glasses of sparkling water in the evening instead of beer or wine, I think that’s fantastic. I wouldn’t use sparkling water in place of regular water.
