We are buying one as soon as we move out of this condo and into a house (with space for gadgets).

I love Pellegrino and Perrier; husband loves club soda and flavored Perrier. We go through multiple large bottles per day. I'm hoping the soda stream saves us a little money.

I’m addicted to my soda stream!! I drink multiple bottles of carbonated water daily but not flavored. I hope my teeth are okay, haven’t noticed anything abnormal.

I don't get it.

We drink the cheapie plain seltzer brand from the grocery store. It tastes just as good as plain LaCroix to me.

LaCroix is hardly expensive.

No, it isn't too bad price wise, especially when it goes on sale. But there are even less expensive brands out there. They taste the same to me. That is probably because we drink unflavored. If you are hooked on a particular flavored LacCroix seltzer, I can see wanting to stick with just LaCroix.

We drink a ton of seltzer water (plain) in our house. Multiple cans every day. Dh and I have been drinking it for 25+ years. The kids have been drinking it since they were in preschool.

We like it, I don't think it has harmed our teeth a bit and we don't go around bragging about drinking it.

It is amusing how everyone seems to be discovering it now though.

Probably only drinking plain water is best for your teeth.
Absent only plain water, it's all probably going to do something to your teeth. I'm ok with my 1 La Croix a day.

Dentist here.

It's not safe for teeth. The added citric acid in the flavoring brings it down to the pH danger zone for tooth demineralization. Regular seltzer is much better.

I'd say your anecdote proves that point. So thanks!

Citric acid is not a listed ingredient in La Croix. Are you saying that any small amount of citric acid if it is in the flavoring is enough to cause damage to teeth?

Do some natural mineral waters have harsh pH levels? I had an adverse effect to this:

Not sure off the top of my head but I'll look into it. I'm guessing the answer is no.

The critical point for demineralization is 5.5. The pH of the water you posted is 5.9-6.9 (appears to be several mineral water products within that family). So unlikely it was affecting your teeth.
