I need to correct a common myth first: baking soda does NOT burn belly fat and there is no safe “baking soda fat-burning recipe.” Using it for weight loss is not supported by science and can actually cause health problems if taken internally.
That said, Baking soda is sometimes used in small amounts in food and home remedies, but not for fat loss.
Instead of unsafe “fat-burning drinks,” here are 3 safe baking soda uses people often misunderstand—and what they actually do.

Gas and bloating
