milk with soda water benefits - #20843

Aradhya

I am really curious about this whole milk with soda water benefits thing. Like, I've heard people say that mixing milk with soda water can be super good for digestion or something? I mean, last week, I was at a dinner party and one of the guests made this weird drink that was half milk and half soda water. At first, I was like, ew! But then I tried it and oddly liked it. Now I’m wondering, are there actual milk with soda water benefits, or was it just my brain tricking me cause I was super thirsty? Think my stomach can handle it too? I usually get bloated pretty easily, you know? Also, is this combo safe for everyone? My friend was saying she thinks milk is best on its own but didn’t give much detail on why. I’ve been looking online and finding a mix of opinions about the milk with soda water benefits, though some articles say it can help with hydration and offer some nutrients. Could there be a possible downside that's not often mentioned? Like, should I be careful how much I drink, or maybe it’s a totally personal preference? Just trying to figure out if I should give this another shot or if it’s just a fad.

Doctors' responses

The idea of mixing milk with soda water isn’t widely supported by scientific evidence in terms of health benefits, and it’s more of a taste preference or cultural tradition in some regions. From a nutritional standpoint, milk alone provides protein, calcium and various vitamins, while soda water is just carbonated water. The combination could potentially dilutes the milk, and might make it more palatable for some people, but any additional health benefits are largely anecdotal.

Given your tendency to experience bloating, it’s possible this mixture could exacerbate that issue. Carbonation in soda water can lead to gas and bloating for some individuals, which could contribute to discomfort if you’re already prone to it. If you liked the taste, there’s no harm in having it as an occasional treat in moderate amounts, especially if it doesn’t aggravate your bloating. However, making it a regular part of your diet may not be necessary or beneficial, considering there’s no strong evidence supporting any unique health benefits of the combined drink.

Furthermore, for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have difficulty digesting milk, this mixture could be problematic. In such cases, it’s safer to opt for lactose-free milk or milk alternatives. Additionally, people with certain medical conditions should always consult with a healthcare provider before introducing unusual dietary changes. Ultimately, whether milk with soda water is suited to your diet really depends on your personal digestion and tolerance levels, so listen to your body. If after consuming it you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, it might be better to skip the combination in the future.
