A leavening agent consisting of potassium or sodium bicarbonate.
“The use of soda or baking-powder in bread making is harmful and unnecessary. Soda causes inflammation of the stomach, and often poisons the entire system. Many housewives think that they can not make good bread (or anything else) without soda, but this is an error...” {TSDF 143.6}
“Saleratus (baking soda) in any form should not be introduced into the stomach, for the effect is fearful. It eats the coatings of the stomach, causes inflammation, and frequently poisons the entire system.” {2T 537.2}
The stomach’s job is to produce acid for the digestion of food. When alkali substances such as baking soda / powder are ingested, as found in crackers, many biscuits and cakes, the stomach has to work twice as hard to achieve the same level of acidity.
Baking soda / powder intake is associated with a 190% increase in risk of stomach cancer, a cancer often the result from increased stomach acidity, irritation, and inflammation. (Phukan RK, Narain K, Zomawia E, Hazarika NC, Mahanta J. Dietary habits and stomach cancer in Mizoram, India. J. Gastroenterol. 2006 May; 41(5):418-24.)
Baking soda kills B vitamins.
“Soda causes inflammation of the stomach and often poisons the entire system.” CD 316.2
I was on a very conservative SDA website and saw a delicious recipe for one of my favorite type of cookies. I was very saddened to see that they use “aluminum free” baking powder and/or soda.
Our message is not to stay away from “aluminum free” baking powder or soda. Our message is to stay away from baking powder and soda (aka saleratus) of ALL kinds.
“...Saleratus in any form should not be introduced into the stomach; for the effect is fearful. It eats the coatings of the stomach, causes inflammation, and frequently poisons the entire system. Some plead, “I cannot make good bread or gems unless I use soda or saleratus.”
WHAT IS SALERATUS?
Here is a definition from 2 different websites
sal·e·ra·tus
saləˈrādəs/ noun
1. Sodium bicarbonate (or sometimes potassium bicarbonate) as the main ingredient of baking powder.
DEFINITION OF SALERATUS
Calcium Bicarbonate or Carbonate does the same thing as far as the lining of the stomach goes
THE TWO MOST FAMOUS BAKING POWDER'S THAT SDA's USE THAT THEY CONSIDER “HEALTHFUL” ARE
1. Hain's Featherweight, which has Potassium Bicarbonate
To Use In Your Favorite Recipes: In any recipe calling for regular baking powder, replace with the same amount of Featherweight Baking Powder. Cannot be used as a replacement for baking soda. Other Ingredients: Monocalcium phosphate, potato starch and potassium bicarbonate.
2. Rumford's Aluminum Free which also has Sodium Bicarbonate
3. Egg Replacer has Calcium Carbonate
Ener-G Egg Replacer Ingredients: Potato Starch, Tapioca Flour, Leavening (Calcium Lactate, Calcium Carbonate, Cream of Tartar), Cellulose Gum, Modified Cellulose.
EnerG Baking Powder: Ener-G Baking Powder. Ingredients: Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, Glucono Delta Lactone, Citric Acid.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN ENER-G BAKING POWDER?
Here is what their website says… http://www.ener-g.com/baking-powder.html
INGREDIENTS:
CALCIUM CARBONATE, (a white, insoluble solid occurring naturally as chalk, limestone, marble, and calcite, and forming MOLLUSK SHELLS and stony corals.)
MAGNESIUM CARBONATE, (Magnesium carbonate, MgCO₃, is an inorganic salt that is a white solid. Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals.)
GLUCONO DELTA LACTONE, (Glucono delta-lactone, also known as gluconolactone, is a food additive with the E number E575 used as a sequestrant, an acidifier, or a curing, pickling, or leavening agent. It is a lactone of D-gluconic acid.)
CITRIC ACID (Citric Acid is FERMENTED – it comes from GMO BLACK MOLD, Not Fruit – Citric acid is obtained also by fermentation of glucose with the aid of the mold Aspergillus niger and can be OBTAINED SYNTHETICALLY FROM ACETONE OR GLYCEROL. Citric and lactic acids are produced by fermentation which utilized a carbohydrate source such as corn based starch and sugar beet molasses.
Fermentation yields a crude purity product which requires further refining. One refining technique utilities a precipitation process, this process first uses lime to produce calcium citrate solids, this is then contacted with sulfuric acid which produces a partially purified soluble citric acid and calcium sulfate by product. Another technique used is solvent extraction. These processes produce streams which require demineralization by ion exchange.
So after reading all of this I say this is NOT a healthy product ...besides the fact we have this counsel:
“…SALERATUS IN ANY FORM should not be introduced into the stomach; for the effect is fearful. It eats the coatings of the stomach causes inflammation and frequently poisons the entire system…” (CD 343.5)
WHAT IS SALERATUS?
sal·e·ra·tus
saləˈrātəs / noun
Sodium bicarbonate (or sometimes potassium bicarbonate) as the main ingredient of baking powder.
***Calcium bicarbonate is the ingredient found in Baking Soda
***THIS INCLUDES NO RUMSFORD, ALUMINUM FREE BAKING POWDER, NO FEATHERWEIGHT, ENER-G, ETC.
