Baking Soda


Baking soda sure is the ingredient of the week.....After learning how to make exceptional deodorant with baking soda (see last post), I read in a Susan Lark e-mail that drinking baking soda (about a half teaspoon in a cup of water), can help alkalinize one's body. I'm learning that many Americans - the ones who drink a lot, eat white flour and drink coffee - are too acidic and what they want to be is more alkaline. Other ways to alkalinize include eating more fruits and vegetables.
So on Saturday night, after reading this earlier in the day, I drank my baking soda drink. I didn't have a real drink at all...Actually, haven't had a drink for months, ever since I started on this detox. I did break down, however, and had a coffee at Borders, about one cup of coffee. I had been doing so good, but coffee still is very alluring to me.
