People have been using sodium bicarbonate for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used natural deposits of the mineral to clean their teeth and make paints for writing. In the s, New York bakers began adding sodium bicarbonate and sour milk to dough to make bread.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that sodium bicarbonate is GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) as a direct food additive. It also states that sodium bicarbonate is generally recognized as safe as an antacid and as an anticaries (tooth decay fighting) active ingredient for over-the-counter use within certain conditions.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), an independent expert panel made up of academic researchers and industry scientists, also has evaluated the scientific data and concluded that sodium bicarbonate is safe as a cosmetic ingredient at current levels of use. In , the CIR Expert Panel considered available new data on sodium bicarbonate and reaffirmed its safety conclusion.

While these two ingredients have a lot in common, they are not the same. Both are used in baking and help create the chemical reaction that makes bread and cake rise. The difference is, baking powder is made of baking soda but also includes a powdered acid—often cream of tartar—mixed right in. This means that all baking powder needs is moisture for a reaction to occur, no added acid necessary, unlike baking soda.

So why use baking soda at all? The answer is that recipes vary widely in acidity levels and flavoring. And to complicate matters, some recipes call for both baking soda and baking powder! These recipes usually contain some acidic ingredient, such as berries for example, but the carbon dioxide created when the baking soda reacts with the acid isn’t enough to leaven (meaning rise) the amount of batter. That’s where baking powder is very useful, to add that necessary extra lift.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and both sodium and bicarbonate can be poisonous if swallowed in large amounts. To prevent this, the National Capital Poison Control Center recommends keep baking soda out of reach of children. The Center also suggests if baking soda is being used to absorb odors inside a refrigerator, parents ought to put the container as far back in the refrigerator as possible, out of children’s reach.
