If soda is such a toxic product, why are you allowed to use it in your food?

The answer to this question is very simple. Soda also has an edible variant, namely bicarbonate!

Soda has a coarse grain and can be found on the bottom shelf of the cleaning products. This soda, also known as household soda, soda crystals, or cleaning soda, consists of the granules you buy for cleaning. This soda is highly toxic and absolutely not recommended for consumption. (See our previous household tip!)

Bicarbonate is finer and looks more like salt. You can find it among baking supplies. It is also known by the following names: baking soda, cooking soda, sodium bicarbonate, and bicarbonate of soda. It is non-toxic and is used as an antacid. It has the same effect as soda but is better suited for delicate surfaces.
