HauptmannUK Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I drink quite a lot of soda water of various brands - Chang, Rock, Singha. Does it contain any sodium (as in sodium chloride or bicarbonate)?. Nothing written on the bottles and it tastes just like pure water with CO2 gas to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dexlowe Posted February 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2019 My Singha soda water seems to have too much Johnny Black. I'm cutting down on alcohol, so would changing to Chang soda help? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I don't think that there's a sodium issue with soda water but the CO2 reacts with the water to give a pH of around 3 - 4 which is acidic and can maybe cause problems with the enamel on yer teeth...a dentist told me once a long time ago that I might wanna ease up on acidic stuff like fresh oranges and orange juice as the enamel on my teeth wasn't very substantial...now in my late 60s these days my teeth are fairly disintegrating... I drink a lot of vodka and use soda and a splash of lime juice as mixers...ease up on the soda and add more vodka and then trade off with the damage to yer liver... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Nothing readily available on the net for local brands and nothing of use on the bottles. Looking big name, Schweppes soda water contains carbonated water and sodium bicarbonate. From here https://www.coca-cola.ie/drinks/schweppes-mixers/schweppes-soda-water nothing about just how much sodium bicarbonate (I'm assuming it's being used as an acidity regulator). One has to assume the local stuff is similar (I can't imagine them adding extra ingredients, they cost money). EDIT And we have this thread from April 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Am I the only person here with google? https://www.google.co.th/search?q=sodium+content+of+soda+water&oq=sodium+content+of+soda+water&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.6766j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Sorry, I'm in a cranky mood today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Here’s a good source of what’s in packaged food: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list?maxsteps=6&format=&count=&max=25&sort=default&fgcd=&manu=&lfacet=&qlookup=Club+soda&ds=&qt=&qp=&qa=&qn=&q=&ing=&offset=0&order=asc A quick look shows that Sodium (NA) is identified as an ingredient in some but not all Club Sodas. Sometimes the specific NA mg count is shown but not in all cases. These databases are focused on us foods only (USDA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Nancy, that is not specific to Thai brands. I don't think we can assume anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I assume that also in Thailand, the drinking water contains several naturally occurring minerals, including sodium (Na), in varying concentrations. Not for drinking water in general but for bottled water labelled as mineral water, I have found this Notification of the Ministry of Public Health dated 19 September 2000. If this notification is still valid, the main mineral content should be declared on the label (see highlighted text on page 3 of this PDF document): Thailand mineral water.pdf I do not know whether there is any regulatory requirement for soda water in Thailand, eg if and how much sodium must be added to qualify for that name on the label.

I should think that Singha got the water they use analysed and has a record of its concentration of sodium (Na) and other main minerals on file. Somebody could try and inquire by email.
