A member asked:
Are there any health benefits of consuming baking powder?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
