Seltzer, Spring, Club, and Tonic[edit]

According to this article in the Huffington Post, there are important differences between seltzer water, spring water, club soda, and tonic water. The difference between tonic and the rest is quite clear, but right now it looks like we have redirects from the other three here to carbonated water, which doesn't look like it is a good idea. Has this ever been discussed before? I would be glad to start splitting these out, but would like to know if I am going to be wasting my time by doing so. Anyone know?

Another source that says those are different things [1]. Taxonomy of Carbonated Waters It hould be splitted. Types: Carbonated water, sparkling water, bubbly water, and fizzy water are umbrella terms describing water that has been pressurized with carbon dioxide gas to produce effervescence, i.e., bubbles. Carbonated water can occur naturally—as is the case with water from certain mineral springs—or it can be created artificially. Seltzer or seltzer water. Club soda. Mineral water is an umbrella term that can refer to either flat or sparkling water from a mineral spring. Soda water is an ambiguous term, probably because it’s been around for a long time: It is what the first commercially available artificially carbonated water was called in the late 18th century. Today, some people use soda water synonymously with seltzer; other people use it synonymously with club soda. Tonic water isn’t water. I raised the same question on talk page of one one the variants (before merger), but it seems that people in charge here are deaf and blind so it seems that the effort would be wasted Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

soda water, tonic water, and mineral water all have their own pages on WP. So, why would you propose a further split? Christopher Rath (talk) 13:21, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Industrial C02[edit]

Where is the CO2 in the water coming from? I once heared that it is produced as a byproduct in some industrial chemical reaction, but is this true? Does anyone has sources for that? --217.97.96.175 (talk) 16:26, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In some cases carbonated water is obtained directly from natural geological sources. When carbonated water is produced from water itself, the carbon dioxide will not have a single source. As a gas that is produced and consumed on an industrial scale, carbon dioxide will certainly come from many different sources. This webpage gives a few examples: The most common operations from which commercially-produced carbon dioxide is recovered are industrial plants which produce hydrogen or ammonia from natural gas, coal, or other hydrocarbon feedstock, and large-volume fermentation operations in which plant products are made into ethanol for human consumption, automotive fuel, or industrial use. Breweries producing beer from various grain products are a traditional source. Corn-to-ethanol plants have been the most rapidly growing source of feed gas for CO2 recovery. CO2-rich natural gas reservoirs found in underground formations found primarily in the western United States and in Canada are another source of recoverable carbon dioxide. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:26, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about lacking citations, but most likely a copyright violation[edit]

This needs some research in some UK Film database.

Could not corroborate conclusion about time to damage human teeth[edit]

The article contains the following text:

A 2017 study by the American Dental Association showed that it would take over 100 years of daily sparkling water consumption to cause damage to human teeth [...]

This section cites https://doi.org/10.1046%2Fj.1365-2842.2001.00795.x as footnote reference, but the footnote reference was published on 2001. Perhaps the reference is incorrect. 2001:1620:5459:0:F3C2:78CA:7391:9D8C (talk) 08:14, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this too, and the citation is for research carried out by the University of Birmingham Dental School in the UK. AdamFunk (talk) 13:59, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
