I really enjoyed reading your post on baking soda. I then had to go research how it is made and as is the case with so many products, the manufacture process itself has some not-insignificant environmental implications.

Wow! You win the prize for the marathon posting! What I like about baking soda is its simplicity. We call it the “magic powder” around our house. Got a problem? Start with baking soda…!

Joe T., I found that generic brands of baking soda irritate my armpits like you mentioned, but I don’t have that problem with Arm & Hammer brand. The A&H brand seems to be ground (?) finer (I don’t usually find big solid lumps in boxes of it, though I did with a generic brands), and I have no problems using it daily.

Love this post!! Baking soda is pretty awesome stuff .
