I do not think we make sodium bicarbonate, per se, but it appears to be useful, despite the added sodium.
Do they make a big deal out of the aluminum free baking soda? I’m hearing bad stuff about Al relative to vaccines and Alzheimer’s.
Sodium is a vital nutrient for all mammals. Without it, we die.
Life is like sodium. You get too much you die crazy. Not enough and you just die.
From The Peoples’ Pharmacy site, quoting a Gastroenterology article:
“Some people selected doses of bicarbonate that would result in several hundred milliliters of gas release within 3 min; it seems likely that such injudicious ingestion of sodium bicarbonate, if taken when the stomach was distended with air, food, and liquid, could be an important factor in spontaneous gastric rupture.
OK I don’t know what I’m saying.
You are speaking of baking powdernot baking soda.
There are substances that can pull aluminum out of your body and brain, if you believe you have a concern.
I do not see the element aluminum in Sodium Bicarbanate......... NaHCO3 or CHNaO3
You been buying some ChiCom stuff?
One study I posted described 1/8 of a teaspoon, taken three times a day, with meals.
But who has “low bicarbonate” levels? That’s not going to be the majority of patients with chronic kidney disease.
Just wondered if the store stuff was adulterated. Had a baking soda freak tell me to buy the Al free stuff at the hippie store.
Truth.
Actually, people with kidney disease are the very ones likely to have that problem.
Ah, you saw through it. I admit I’ve had too much ELO and beer.
Results Out of 41,749 patients (with CKD), 13.9% (n = 5796) had low and 1.6% (n = 652) had high serum bicarbonate levels.
No wait, that wasn’t an ELO song. Another mistake. Another day, perhaps.
Can I add it to my apple cider vinegar shots?
You can, but it would make it less acidic.
Patients with CKD experience a multitude of abnormalities and disabilities, among which metabolic acidosis was one of the earliest complications to be recognized and explained pathologically.14 In typical CKD, there is a direct correlation between the decline in GFR and the reduction in serum bicarbonate thought to be due primarily to the inability of the kidney to synthesize ammonia, regenerate bicarbonate, and excrete hydrogen ions.5
However, the optimal range for serum bicarbonate in patients with CKD is yet to be established, because metabolic alkalosis also portends poor outcomes.20

Compromised kidneys give their lives to keep blood Ph normal. Part of the problem is the stress that induces, which progresses the disease.
“Do they make a big deal out of the aluminum free baking soda? Im hearing bad stuff about Al relative to vaccines and Alzheimers.”
baking SODA is inherently aluminum-free since baking SODA contains nothing but SODIUM bicarbonate .... you’re thinking of double-acting backing POWDER, most of which DO contain an aluminum salt, though the more knowledgeable of us use double-acting baking POWDER that contains phosphate agents rather than aluminum ones ...
