What is wrong with drinking baking soda water Isn that also alkaline water ?
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Adding it to drinking water does not raise the pH value of the water. If you drink it, the hydrochloric acid in the stomach will react with it and reduce the sodium bicarbonate to sodium chloride, sodium salt (NaCl), and water and carbon dioxide. You just increased the salt intake. Since it does not increase the stomach fluid pH, the stomach will not produce hydrochloric acid like alkaline water does. It is the production of hydrochloric acid by the stomach that also produces bicarbonate and interjects it to the blood stream as a byproduct. Drinking baking soda water does not help the body but just add more sodium salt to the body.
