To gasify the drink or not

What is the taste of childhood? For some, these are grandmother's pies, someone seems to be a strawberry, which they collected in the forest, but it seems that everyone will remember how lusty they drank carbonated drinks in their childhood. Buratino, Dyushes, Sitro, Baikal, Bell ... What could be better?

This joy has almost always been banned by parents who are genuinely sure of harm. Paradoxically, but growing up, we ourselves forbid to use soda already for our children, being also convinced that there is no benefit.

What is the essence of such love and not love at the same time. Initially, carbonated drinks are non-alcoholic, soft, carbonated liquids. It sounds a bit wild, but in fact everything is simple and easy. People began to carbonate a drink, in particular mineral water, more than two hundred years ago.

Carbon dioxide is involved in a huge number of animal and plant body processes. It regulates vascular tone, and its lack of blood is deadly. To gasify a drink is good for health.

Kvass, sparkling wines, beer and many other drinks, the content of which carbon dioxide is caused by natural fermentation processes, are drunk from the time of the century, and nobody has declared the harm of these. It is only necessary to specify separately the alcoholic component of these liquids, but this is the story of another novel.

Gasify the drink, in particular salted water, is recommended to employees of foundries. Doctors advise to use such water in a sufficiently large volume (about five liters per shift). The benefits of mineral waters saturated with carbon dioxide, we all know for a long time, and no one is going to ban them.

So what is the crux of the problem, if the drink is aerated is useful, but people use this method for a long time? It's all about quantity and quality. Norm is the main law of life. Within this norm everything remains useful (we are talking about quality products), all that is over - deadly.

So, how do we use carbonated drinks now. Firstly, immensely, and most terrible, with a huge amount of sugar, a variety of dyes and preservatives.

The production of carbonated beverages would not be profitable if all the rules of cooking were observed. On the foreground come such indicators as cost, shelf life and profit. Consequently, preservatives give the possibility of a drink not to deteriorate for a long time, and natural juices are replaced with chemical flavors and dyes for the sake of economy. Moreover, there are reports that many compounds are enriched with addictive drugs. But do we need it, ordinary consumers?

Carbonated water at home is a delicious lemonade based on natural juices or broths. Recipes for obtaining carbon dioxide mass. For example, mix soda and lemon juice or use a device for water aerating. There are craftsmen who construct aerators from fire extinguishers. As a result, you will receive a wonderful, useful and refreshing drink that can not only quench your thirst, but also enrich the body with useful substances. Drink with pleasure, but know the measure.
