BAKING SODA – we can easily say that this ingredient is all-purpose, non-toxic and extremely beneficial substance. Can I ask you something – did you know that your kidneys and pancreas actually create sodium bicarbonate substance, which isn’t identical to the baking soda bought in the stores? The answer is YES – our kidneys and pancreas create this substance in order to control the acidity of our blood, because acidic blood is the main cause and reason for chronic inflammation and disease. Sodium bicarbonate is produced by our bodies to neutralize excess acids produced by the digestive system and respiratory system.
