I always thought that it was the sugar in carbonated drinks that was the problem, but apparently the carbonation itself is, according to her.
It should perhaps be noted that European sparkling waters come out of the ground carbonated, ie are naturally bubbly, and are filled with numerous minerals that we often don't get enough of. Mark Sisson, of Mark's Daily Apple, recommends Gerolsteiner water from Germany for it's trace elements. I prefer my water bubbly, and to that end bought a soda stream some years ago. None of the added minerals unfortunately, but shipping in bottles of water from Europe seems somewhat extravagant to me.

I, too, have a soda stream and drink carbonated water frequently. I'd like to see the information regarding linking carbonated water alone to high blood pressure. I suspect this is merely a correlation, but if someone has more details, I'd be interested.
