Question by slyhockeyflyers: what are the affects of eating baking powder for long periods of time, say years?
its like an addiction almost, ever since i can remember, i have eaten baking powder right out of the can, it sounds gross i know, but not to me, no one seems to know what it could cause, although i read somewhere about it causing alzheimers or something, can u tell me what the long term affects are to eating the stuff?

dude, i love the taste of baking powder. i totally though i was the only one who liked it. haha. it’s really not good for you though. i’ll just take a taste now and then. it’s really high in sodium so it can give you high blood pressure and other heart disease problems. weird.
