Does carbonation (carbonated water, diet soda, etc...) affect gains in any way? muscle:fat ratio, protein synthesis, and glucose uptake - those are the three main things i'm worried about.

I'm one year sober lol
For the past year its been either 100% juice, milk, water or protein smoothie
I highly recommend it
For one thing, I suspect carbonation dulls your taste buds,
because I swear a few weeks after I stopped drinking it I tasted foods way more intenselyIn the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

carbonation screws with the nitrogen retension process and takes oxygen out of the muscles...... along with water, dont drink cokes.... the sugar is bad for you too....

last night was my birthday and we had soo much pop. i didnt have any
. anyway when i was cleaning up, it really pissed me off how everyone would open their pop and just leave it on the tables, leaving a can that is about 95% full. i had to dump out over a dozen of these.
anyway, about carbonation, i havent heard of any problems. so carbonated water is probably OK

Sorry, I forgot to say H-BDay Bryan.
Wish you the best.
Carbonated water can decrease pH of your muscle, but it doesn't really mean anything. Carbonated water isn't a problem for hypertrophy.
