Baking soda, a versatile kitchen staple, is a powerhouse ingredient with countless culinary and household applications. Its leavening properties make it a must-have for baking, where it reacts with acidic ingredients to produce carbon dioxide bubbles, resulting in fluffy cakes, airy pancakes, and tender cookies. Beyond the kitchen, baking soda shines as a cleaning agent, effectively tackling tough stains, deodorizing surfaces, and even freshening up carpets and upholstery. Its gentle abrasiveness makes it ideal for scrubbing away grime without damaging delicate surfaces. Additionally, baking soda's alkaline nature makes it a natural remedy for heartburn and indigestion when mixed with water. Its eco-friendly and cost-effective nature further elevate its appeal, offering a greener alternative to harsh chemical cleaners. From the oven to the laundry room, baking soda proves itself as a trusted ally, showcasing its remarkable versatility in both culinary and household realms.

Thanks for that. Theodore768... especially the part about 'heartburn'.
At least twice, I sent in a tip to SDC regarding this issue, but to my knowledge, neither was ever published.
Being a sufferer of severe GORD (Gastro-oesophageal reflux Disease), commonly known as heartburn and also being a lover of coffee, which is highly acidic, I found a solution about 8 years ago.
Using a generous pinch of Baking Powder (which contains Baking Soda - an alkaline) in my coffee, it neutralises the acidity, therefore, reducing or even totally eliminating, the acidity
It REALLY WORKS, is safe and has no side effects!!!
I even carry a small container of it in my purse when I go out.
PS: To lighten the situation when people ask me what it is, I tell them "cocaine" and offer it around!
