Here’s your takeaway: baking soda is safe to consume when you respect it. A little sprinkle for acid relief? Fine. A whole box because a wellness influencer said so? That’s a one-way ticket to regret city. Listen to your body—it’s usually pretty honest about what it needs.
So next time you see that orange box, give it a little nod. It’s a great cleaner, a decent antacid, and a superstar in pancakes. Just don’t make it your morning coffee. Your stomach will thank you, and so will your taste buds. Now, go bake something delicious—and leave the soda straight-up for the science class.
