What Happens When You Drink Baking Soda?
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, reacts with acid in the stomach.
Small amounts are sometimes used as an antacid, but that doesn’t make it a fat-burning substance.
Taking too much can cause unpleasant or potentially dangerous effects because baking soda contains a significant amount of sodium and can disturb the body’s acid-base balance.
Possible problems can include:
- Bloating
- Nausea
- Stomach discomfort
- Increased sodium intake
- Electrolyte disturbances when excessive amounts are consumed
That’s why more is definitely not better.
