I agree with Margaret, moderation is the key. The composition of the water will depend on where it comes from and what rocks etc are in the local geology. The bottle I have here just now has less than 75mg of sodium per litre.

Dietary guidelines suggest an intake of no more than 2000mg (2g) of sodium per day. That is up to 6g of salt as salt is about one third sodium by weight. But that's only about half a teaspoon of salt. Still the amount of sodium in fizzy water is minuscule in comparison to the daily allowance suggested.

Most fizzy water has bicarbonate in it, which is good for settling your tummy. A teaspoon of bicarb in water used to be my dad's remedy if we were feeling sick.
