It just won't be the same without San Pel's bubbly sweet kick of uranium, not safe for children under two years of age.
I just happened to have a bottle of San Pellegrino and a Radalert 100 radiation monitor. Background radiation is about 15 cpm on average, and right next to the bottle was in the same range. Doesn't appear that there is any danger.

I have worked in La Hague. It was common knowledge that during an annual check of staff, the tests were accurate enough to identify smokers and it was always asked if the subject was a heavy drinker of San Pellegrino because this had an impact of measures. Ingested radioactive material is far more dangerous than exposition to radiations. I am mostly pro nuclear, but IMHO, the recomandation to avoid San Pellegrino for…
Burton salts (as used for homebrewing, to match the mineral content of the water of Burton-on-Trent: https://www.morebeer.com/products/burton-salts-brewing-1-lb.... ) are a pretty close match to San Pellegrino at 1.2g/L. You want the salts to be dissolved in the water before carbonating it. And of course, this might not work well if you have highly mineralized tap water to start with.
I grew up not far from Burton-on-Trent and never realised the significance of the water to the brewing industry. In hindsight it's obvious, but I guess, I never really thought about it. Anyway, found this nice write up [1] on the history of the town. [1] http://allaboutbeer.com/article/burton-on-trent%E2%80%94the-...
