In response to another vanity I saw. Basically, two weeks of a little baking soda each day changed inflammatory states in the body.

Add a teaspoon per gallon of iced tea.

It enhances the flavor!

Try it!

Also, drinking powdered coal does the same thing.

They have shown that when rats or healthy people drink a solution of baking soda …

Pity it doesn’t make the rats conservative.

It raises the PH of water, and the PH of a body.

Baking soda alkalizes water/liquids.

Alkaline water is basically similar to mountain spring water.

I dunno 'bout that but for years I had terrible reflux. The heartburn pain was really bad. The only thing that would kill the burn was a bit of baking soda dissolved in water. Instant acid neutralization with a giant burp. After nearly a decade of this my new bride thought this seemed like maybe a problem and made me go get checked out. My esophagus was a disaster from the acid and my doctor said "Honestly, this is about the worst I've ever seen without being cancer. I can't figure out why you weren't in here on your hands and knees begging for relief years ago." I didn't tell him I was killing the pain with baking soda.

But the stuff is good for lots of things, I'll say that much.

How much is a little?

[Windflier]

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) makes the body more alkaline. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment.

That is interesting. About two years ago I had a nasty bout of iritis, an inflammation of the iris. Since then it has recurred about four times. The ophthalmologist said it is caused by an autoimmune response since I didn’t get a hard punch to the eye which is the other possible cause.

Will it work if you put the baking soda in buttermilk biscuits, or peanut brittle?

I’ve been brushing my teeth with straight baking soda for the last fifty years. Enough goes into my stomach to keep me healthy. In case of acid reflux from eating too much I keep a box of baking soda and a bottle of water right by my bed.

This is bull poop advice. Most people will glance over the title and miss the important part. Here it is: [when] "healthy people drink a solution of baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, it becomes a trigger for the stomach to make more acid to digest the next meal and for little-studied mesothelial cells sitting on the spleen to tell the fist-sized organ that there's no need to mount a protective immune response."

The stomach is supposed to be very acidic; about pH 1.2. That is why people need to consume Salt, so the body can make acid. A highly acidic stomach breaks down food and also destroys many harmful pathogens.

We drink it several times daily.
