Baking soda was once commonly added to green vegetables because it helps maintain their vivid color. However, it also destroys vitamins, particularly Vitamin C and Thiamin. The vegetables will also have a mushy texture as baking soda softens the cell walls of the vegetables. If boiling or simmering, cooking without a lid will better retain color.

Domestic pets should be getting their carbohydrate in a similar manner and balance to their wild ancestors. That means feeding fresh, raw (non starchy-low glycemic) vegetables (and some fruit). The green vegetables contain only small amounts of starch and some simple sugars. More importantly they are chock full of enzymes, nutraceuticals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. See similar questions...

A salt mixture which is also very suitable for nasal rinsing consists of two kinds of salt: common salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate or bicarbonate of soda, NaHCO3). Baking soda buffers the rinsing solution, i. e. it keeps the pH value (degree of acidity) constant at the desired alkaline strength of approx. 8. In human blood, sodium hydrogen carbonate shows the second highest salt concentration after sodium chloride. See similar questions...

A hypertonic saline solution buffered with baking soda is more agreeable for nasal rinsing than if it is unbuffered. It supports the cleansing function of the nasal mucous membrane, i. e. the mucociliary clearance which is the mucus transport system. For a very mild, buffered hypertonic rinsing solution you put one, or one heaped measuring spoonful of salt per rinsing pot filling into the nasal rinsing pot and then add about half a measuring spoonful of baking soda.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate; adding it to drinking water does not raise the pH value of the water. However, once in the blood stream, it will act as alkaline buffer and, when too much acid is around, the lungs will exhale CO2 The only problem with this method is that continued consumption of baking soda will upset the potassium/sodium balance of the body, creating bad side effects as high blood pressure.

In recipes calling for baking soda or baking powder double the amount called for with Ener-G Calcium Carbonate (Baking soda Substitute) or Ener-G Baking Powder. The CO2 in Ener-G Baking powder/soda comes from Calcium carbonate (CACO3). The CO2 from ordinary baking powder/soda comes from Sodium bicarbonate (NA2CO3). Thus ordinary baking powder/soda has 2 units of CO3 to release while Ener-G Baking powder/soda only has 1 unit of CO3 to release. See similar questions...

Not really. Although baking soda was used regularly many years ago as a tooth cleaning agent because it neutralizes acids and cleans well, it's not usually recommended anymore because of its abrasiveness. You're better off using plain water or one of several SLS free toothpastes, with a soft toothbrush. quot;Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing" See similar questions...

Technically speaking there is no difference between the two. Usually baking soda is a food grade product that is much more refined than raw sodium bicarbonate. It works as a leavening agent because it gives out carbon dioxide when heated above 50?C. The method you are using to make the paneer is correct but the problem you are facing is very common. It is the tendency of the homemade paneer that it melts when you fry it in the heated oil. See similar questions...
