Amaze your kids with this neat trick: Add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to an 8-ounce glass of orange juice and watch it fizz like crazy. It’s safe to drink and gives them a boost of vitamin C!
Please be advised that baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) should not be given to children under age 5. It is used as an antacid to alleviate heartburn.
It contains .238 g of sodium in 1/4 teaspoon which adds to the upper limit of 2.4 g of sodium per day.
Most Americans consume over this limit. This can contribute to Hypertension (high blood pressure) and other comorbidities.
