“The men who drank either unsweetened or artificially sweetened carbonated water had triple the blood levels of ghrelin (increases appetite) as those who drank plain water or degassed sparkling water. The study rotated the four beverages among all of the participants, so, by the end of the study, each man had partaken of each beverage. They concluded that the presence of carbon dioxide led to an increase in ghrelin production.”
So this suggests it might be helpful for me to gain muscle mass if I drink more carbonated water. My body must be producing leptin (appetite suppressant) as soon as I try to gain weight, making it revolting for me to try to keep eating and difficult to add weight despite regular resistance exercise.
If I add carbonation to my weight gaining regimen and it increases ghrelin and improves appetite, that would be an important finding in the fight against sarcopenia.
