Question 1

is baking powder a baking soda?

Accepted Answer

No: Baking powder is not a baking soda. They are different types of chemical ingredients... which means using the wrong one can make one's baking taste odd.

Question 2

can i use baking powder for reflux?

Accepted Answer

: As a dentist I saw devastating effects on teeth from reflux. The use of baking soda in a gel inside a night dental appliance such as a clear retainer or splint may reduce harm. ‘Retainer gel’ is a generic form. A physician may recommend a baking soda and water drink during the day and aloe Vera has been mentioned as beneficiary by some sufferers. Always best to consult with your trusted profession

Question 3

are there any health benefits of consuming baking powder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Studies have shown that dietary measures to boost bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) levels can increase the pH of acidic tumors without upsetting the pH of the blood and healthy tissues.  to relieve occasional heartburn and indigestion is to stir half a teaspoon of baking soda into half a cup of water and drink it an hour or two after meals. Bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) can also sooth psoriasis and can enhance plaque removal on teeth.

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Baking soda: Many years ago the keyes technique was popular. This included hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. This is to kill the periodontal pathogens ( bacteria). It was shown to be no more effective than regular good toothpaste with flouride.

Question 6

can baking powder be used instead of baking soda for face whitening?

Accepted Answer

Both work the same: Baking powder, baking soda, and white flour are white in color, and will make one's face look whiter during the time that these white substances are on the face. Of course, one would look quite odd at that time, being covered with whitish substances. As soon as the stuff is washed off, the skin is as before, no lighter, no darker. So, baking powder and baking soda work the same, as neither work.

Question 7

Question 8

Question 9

will sitting in baking powder cure an yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

No: Over- the- counter medicines for yeast infections include: micon 7, monistat, vagistat, (tioconazole) gynazole, femcare, gyne-lotrimin; mycelex. Natural approaches to yeast infections: 1. Wear cotton vs synthetic underwear 2. Avoid wearing underpants in bed at night. 3.  No tight fitting panties ; pantyhose. 4. Use natural tampon/ feminine pads (avoid scented). 5. No douches or harsh, drying soap on genitalia.

Question 10

can you tell me if i could use baking powder instead of soda to eliminate vaginal odor?

Accepted Answer

It will be messy: Baking powder contains baking soda and cream of tartar, which is a very fine powder.  So it will make a kind of goo that might help a little but also might make things worse.

Better to find the cause of the odor (very often it is a buildup of the wrong kind of bacteria or yeast in the vagina), especially if there is a discharge, and to treat the cause specifically.  Get it checked at any clinic.
