What’s the difference between sparkling water and soda?

Okay, so I love my fizzy drinks, but I’ve been trying to be healthier. Is sparkling water really that much better than soda, or is it basically the same thing without the sugar?

I totally get you on the fizzy drink craving! Sparkling water is definitely a better option since it doesn't have the sugar or artificial sweeteners that soda does. You still get that satisfying fizz without the extra calories or chemicals. If you miss the flavor, you could always add a splash of fruit juice or some fresh fruit!
