Baking Soda: Not Just for the Fridge. Shrink Cancer ... - Truth N Health

Most people know of the common household staple, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as something that deodorizes the fridge, is added to baked goods and makes those 5th grade volcano science projects super neat to watch when combined with vinegar, but decades of continued studies are revealing baking soda?s amazing natural abilities to fight infectious diseases, increase athletic performance, diminish acne, shrink cancer, clear the complexion, prevents foot odor and athletes feet, relieve heartburn and indigestion, kill off colds, influenza, and acid reflux (just to list a few).

Natural News urges consumers to read the fine print on the boxes of baking soda, because many brands contain aluminum, so be extra careful and purchase aluminum free baking soda. On one of the many positive sides, a box does not cost very much, and its versatility is almost . . . well, priceless!

As an extreme alkalizing agent, baking soda calms the homeostasis of the inner body, and ?soothes? acidic environments. Take gout, arthritis or fibromyalgia, for examples. These three conditions exemplify a body state of acidosis, where the pH is out of balance and the body is working extra hard to achieve that balance. ?The body?s attempt to regain stasis is what causes arthritis, high uric acid, muscle spasms and a host of other problems.? A solution to such conditions is consuming alkalizing foods. Baking soda is at the top of the best natural cures.

Most people reach for over the counter, symptom reliever because it is fast, accessible and socially accepted and learned as the way to treat discomfort. What most people do not realize is that all drugs have side effects and most drugs take time to build up in the system before relief occurs. Baking soda, on the other hand is natural, is absorbed into the body in just a few minutes, and helps the pain subside to tolerable levels or relieve it entirely. Yes, a miracle alkalizing agent for cents! Mix lemons and baking soda as a tonic and drink it a few times a day to relieve gout joint pain. Mix 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 8 oz. of water and drink it all at once. The maximum recommended dose is 4 teaspoons divided up throughout the day during an acute attack. Then reduce the dose as the pain subsides.

Special note: Baking soda can raise the blood pressure. Persons taking medication for hypertension should consult a health practitioner before using baking soda in this manner.

Add a little baking soda to apple cider vinegar to relieve joint pain, acid stomach, headaches, gout, muscle spasms and arthritis.

Starve cancer? How about this for a natural (alternative) cancer treatment. Shown in hundreds of case studies to be an effective, non-invasive and natural treatment to cancers of the throat, colon, intestines and rectal area, baking soda tonics are a positive and nurturing way to rid the body of deadly cancer. Not only is baking soda extremely economical (as compared to the costs of chemotherapy and radiation), baking soda has no side effects. No hair loss, nausea, weight loss, sick feelings. No surgeries necessary and no other drugs to take which further damage and tax the body?s immune system when going through cancer treatment.

?Cancer cells thrive in a low-oxygen environment. The body cannot retain oxygen cells if the blood pH is highly acidic, and this is the standard condition of those with tumors who eat a diet of refined sugars, flours, caffeine and other acidic foods. Baking soda, or Sodium Bicarbonate, is a substance that neutralizes acids. One teaspoon a week will reverse an acidic blood pH, as will switching to a diet high in alkaline-producing foods.? Natural News, Center for Cancer, and Holistic Voice all suggest mixing baking soda with maple syrup to rid the body of cancer. The bicarbonate goes straight to the cancer site and uses it as a weapon against the disease.

A good recipe for this is to mix 3 parts organic maple syrup with 1 part baking soda, stir over very low heat for 5-10 minutes and take 3 tsp per day for 1 to 2 months.

Want Healthy Kidneys? The National Institute of Health estimates that 20 million Americans have significantly reduced kidney function and even a small decline in kidney function can double a person?s risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Many people will experience heart attacks or strokes before they are even aware they have kidney disease. Certainly, people can avoid acidic foods and drinks that can tap out the kidneys, such as animal meats, sodas, alcohol, and increase their intake of wild fatty fish to prevent kidney disease, but one could also take a daily dose of sodium bicarbonate! Sounds easy? It really is! Get into the habit of adding baking soda into your daily eating routine!

Smile and Show Off Those Pearly Whites! The foods we eat, especially the acidic ones (sugar) turn into different types of bacteria that produce harmful acids that erode the tooth enamel. Rinsing the mouth with baking soda several times a day completely removes the acid and prevents the bacteria to grow on the gums and tongue. Brush the teeth and tongue using baking soda and also swish with a baking soda mixture as a mouthwash. You will notice your breath cleaner and your teeth whiter! The best part is that baking soda is slightly abrasive and polishes the teeth without creating any harm to the enamel.

Additional notes and precautions: Baking soda should not be used for children under the age of 6 without consulting a pediatrician. The usage of baking soda might be dangerous for those with allergies or health conditions that make them sensitive to sodium intake.

Certain conditions such as appendicitis, intestinal bleeding, and other conditions can be made worse by ingesting baking soda. High blood pressure, heart disease, liver disease, toxemia, edema, and other illnesses can be made worse by ingesting baking soda. Also, some medications like tetracyclines, methanamine, and Nizoral can be reduced in their effectiveness by baking soda. (Source: HealthGuidance.org).

Healthy schools: Goodbye candy and greasy snacks

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Goodbye candy bars and sports drinks. Hello baked chips and diet sodas.

The government for the first time is proposing broad new standards to make sure all foods sold in schools are more healthful, a change that would ban the sale of almost all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus.

Under new rules the Department of Agriculture proposed Friday, school vending machines would start selling water, lower-calorie sports drinks, diet sodas and baked chips instead. Lunchrooms that now sell fatty "a la carte" items like mozzarella sticks and nachos would have to switch to healthier pizzas, low-fat hamburgers, fruit cups and yogurt.

The rules, required under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, are part of the government's effort to combat childhood obesity. While many schools already have made improvements in their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still are selling high-fat, high-calorie foods.

Under the proposal, the Agriculture Department would set fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits on almost all foods sold in schools. Current standards already regulate the nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that are subsidized by the federal government, but most lunch rooms also have "a la carte" lines that sell other foods. And food sold through vending machines and in other ways outside the lunchroom has not been federally regulated.

"Parents and teachers work hard to instill healthy eating habits in our kids, and these efforts should be supported when kids walk through the schoolhouse door," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Most snacks sold in school would have to have less than 200 calories. Elementary and middle schools could sell only water, low-fat milk or 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice. High schools could sell some sports drinks, diet sodas and iced teas, but the calories would be limited. Drinks would be limited to 12-ounce portions in high schools and middle schools, and 8-ounce portions in elementary schools.

The standards will cover vending machines, the "a la carte" lunch lines, snack bars and any other foods regularly sold around school. They would not apply to in-school fundraisers or bake sales, though states have the power to regulate them. The new guidelines also would not apply to after-school concessions at school games or theater events, goodies brought from home for classroom celebrations, or anything students bring for their own personal consumption.

The new rules are the latest in a long list of changes designed to make foods served in schools more healthful. Nutritional guidelines for the subsidized lunches were revised last year and put in place last fall. The 2010 child nutrition law also provided more money for schools to serve free and reduced-cost lunches and required more meals to be served to hungry kids.

Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat, has been working for two decades to take junk foods out of schools. He calls the availability of unhealthful foods around campus a "loophole" that undermines the taxpayer money that helps pay for the healthier subsidized lunches.

"USDA's proposed nutrition standards are a critical step in closing that loophole and in ensuring that our schools are places that nurture not just the minds of American children but their bodies as well," Harkin said.

Last year's rules faced criticism from some conservatives, including some Republicans in Congress, who said the government shouldn't be telling kids what to eat. Mindful of that backlash, the Agriculture Department exempted in-school fundraisers and proposed different options for some parts of the rule, including the calorie limits for drinks in high schools, which would be limited to either 60 calories or 75 calories in a 12-ounce. portion.

The department also has shown a willingness to work with schools to resolve complaints that some new requirements are hard to meet. Last year, for example, the government relaxed some limits on meats and grains in subsidized lunches.

Schools, the food industry, interest groups and other critics or supporters of the new proposal will have 60 days to comment and suggest changes. A final rule could be in place as soon as the 2014 school year.

Margo Wootan, a nutrition lobbyist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says surveys done by her organization show that most parents want changes in the lunchroom.

"Parents aren't going to have to worry that kids are using their lunch money to buy candy bars and a Gatorade instead of a healthy school lunch," she said.

The food industry has been onboard with many of the changes, and several companies worked with Congress on the child nutrition law two years ago. Major beverage companies have already agreed to take the most caloric sodas out of schools. But those same companies, including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, also sell many of the non-soda options, like sports drinks, and have lobbied to keep them in vending machines.

A spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association, which represents the soda companies, says they already have greatly reduced the number of calories kids are consuming at school by pulling out the high-calorie sodas.

What are you feeling? Watching? Facebook tries new icons for oversharing

If you've opened Facebook lately, you might've noticed that the status composer?often shows a friendly question along the lines of "How are you feeling, Timmy?" That's because Facebook's looking to change how you share your emotions (and activities).

TechCrunch's Josh Constine was among the first to call attention to a redesigned status composer that's appearing to some users.?

Instead?of?just?being?asked?to?describe?what?they're?up?to,?some?users?can?now?choose from a variety of categories in order to share what they're feeling, eating, drinking, watching, reading or listening to.

"We started a really small test that lets people share how they're feeling and what they're doing more visually in their Facebook?posts," a Facebook spokesperson told NBC News.

Rather than just typing that you're ready for the weekend to start, you can attribute an emotion to the status update (perhaps to point out that you're feeling estatic or tired). This will attach the appropriate emoticon to your post.

If you're telling your Facebook friends about a book you're reading, a movie you're watching or a song you're listening to, you can also link out to more information about it.?

Facebook's sticking to the story that the new status composer options are just being tested out on a few users, so there's no way to know if or when the rest of us will ever get to take advantage of them.

We wouldn't be surprised if the social network decided to push the feature out further soon though, as we've already noticed?"mood updates" involving animated blob-shaped emoticons on Google+,?as?you?can?see?at?left.

Want more tech news?or interesting?links? You'll get plenty of both if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.
