Can I drink soda water after eating mulberries?
Generally speaking, it is safe to drink soda water after consuming mulberries, but individual constitution and consumption amount should be taken into consideration.
There is no direct chemical reaction or contraindication between mulberries and soda water, so they can be consumed together. Soda water is weakly alkaline and helps neutralize stomach acid. Some people may find drinking soda water after eating mulberries helps relieve possible stomach discomfort caused by the acidic components in mulberries. Additionally, soda water can promote gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion, working together with the dietary fiber in mulberries to improve digestive function.
However, for individuals with insufficient gastric acid secretion or gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis or gastric ulcers, excessive consumption of soda water might further inhibit gastric acid secretion and worsen gastrointestinal discomfort. Moreover, mulberries contain a certain amount of fructose, and soda water may also contain sugar or other additives; excessive intake of these components could lead to elevated blood sugar levels.
In addition, individuals who are fructose intolerant or prone to allergies should be cautious, as consuming both together might trigger diarrhea or skin rashes; personal reactions should be closely observed.
