Tag: Carbonation sensitivity

According to a study published in the journal *Nutritional Science and Vitaminology*, some individuals perceive the sparkling sensation in carbonated water more intensely than others. This heightened perception is just one reason why some people may feel sensitive to sparkling water, experiencing discomfort and side effects from the fizzy beverage.

According to research from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, even mice dislike carbonated water, suggesting a biological basis for this aversion. This begs the question: is it normal to dislike carbonated drinks? The answer is a resounding yes, and a number of physiological, psychological, and environmental factors are at play.
