Great comments. Btw, I do like the medicinal properties of baking soda as well.

However, just read somewhere on Substack (wish I could remember where) that use of baking soda is concerning given that it contains toxic aluminium. ???

That would be a specific type of "Baking Powder" that adds aluminum as an extra ingredient that was/is used in certain baking recipes, for the purpose of leavening.

Oh, yes. Thank you. Every day's a school day. Dr Crouse says:

"Avoid baking powder! It has contained aluminum since 1900, and even the brands claiming to be aluminum-free are contaminated. It is used to make pickles, pancakes, muffins, and waffles. Instead, use old-fashioned cream of tarter baking powder, which has no aluminum. Alternatively, you can make baking powder using Crouse's recipe in his book or on the internet."
