Even the best “high quality” dark roasts can make an acidic cup of coffee, though cheaper blends are notorious for being overly acidic. And acid can be hard on a sensitive stomach, particularly if you enjoy more than one cup of coffee a day. So how does baking soda improve an acidic cup of Joe?
Even the best coffee beans produce acid
Beyond using it as a natural cleaning agent to remove stains for your coffee pot, some believe that baking soda can actually improve the taste of coffee. It’s no secret that coffee can be a tad acidic. But for many, giving up their morning cup of coffee is not an option. And truthfully, with science continuing to study coffee and the many benefits it provides, it’s easy to see why coffee lovers would never want to give up their morning cup of brew. Yet, if drinking coffee is contributing to excess stomach acid and causing you digestive upset, then you’re probably thinking you’d be better off without. Think again.
According to Harvard Health, coffee drinking is associated with a lower risk of depression among women, a lower risk of fatal prostate cancer among men, and a lower risk of stroke among both men and women. Human and animal studies show some protection against Alzheimer’s disease and a lower risk for some cancers like estrogen-negative breast cancer.
Coffee is fairly acidic on a pH scale
Acidity is something that’s measured on the pH scale, which uses 7.0 as an indicator of neutrality. So, numbers under seven as are naturally more acidic than numbers above seven. For instance, according to Science Buddies, battery acid is zero. Clearly, that’s highly acidic. Lemon juice registers at about two, and black coffee registers at a pH of about five. But rather than kicking your “acidic” coffee habit — and there are clearly good reasons to keep drinking coffee — why not neutralize the acid in your brew?
Helps neutralize an acidic cup of coffee
In water, baking soda is mildly alkaline and can be used to neutralize acid. That’s why, when it dissolves in water, it works well as a natural antacid remedy. Its alkalinity is also why it makes a great deodorizer — by countering slightly acidic scent molecules. On the pH scale baking soda registers as a nine.
That means by simply adding a little baking soda to your coffee you could neutralize the acid to avoid stomach upset. There’s two way you can do that. You can add about a quarter teaspoon to your coffee beans for a pot of coffee, or you can add just a pinch (small pinch) to your cup of coffee.
Helps acid reflux or GERD
Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux according to a German study. However, coffee creates more reflux than simply caffeine added to water. This suggests that other components of coffee contribute to acid reflux. A small pinch of baking soda can help counteract acid reflux.
May help relieve gout
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation. It develops in some people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood. The acid can form painful needle-like crystals in a joint and cause severe episodes of pain, tenderness, redness, warmth and swelling.
Due to baking soda’s pH neutralizing effects, it may help lower uric acid levels. According to GoutDiet.org baking soda introduced to the blood alkalinizes it, causing the uric acid structures to break up. Then, they can easily filter out the kidneys and expel through the urine. Add a pinch to your coffee or more as needed.
If you suffer from ulcers, baking soda can help
Since baking soda neutralizes stomach acid, it can help make coffee drinking more bearable if you suffer from a stomach ulcer. Add a quarter to a half teaspoon to your coffee grounds.
Let’s break down baking soda
While most of us often keep a box baking soda in the house for baking, as a deodorizer for the fridge, or as a natural cleaning alternative (and now for neutralizing acidic coffee), some still aren’t sure what exactly baking soda is. So, let’s break it down.
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a chemical salt that occurs naturally as the mineral nahcolite. This is a soft, colorless or white carbonate mineral. Nahcolite was first described in 1928 when it was found in a lava tunnel at Mount Vesuvius, Italy. NaHCO3, as it’s known chemically, contains sodium (NA), hydrogen (H) and carbonate (CO).
Baking soda in North America
So, where does America get its baking soda from? Well, most baking soda in the U.S. comes from Green River, Wyoming. According to Arm & Hammer, the baking soda from Green River is mined from trona ore. Trona deposits were molded over four million years ago after the evaporation of great salt lakes in Wyoming. Trona also comes from Kenya, Egypt, Venezuela and the deserts of Central Asia. After it’s mined, it’s heated to make soda ash, which is then dissolved in water. When carbon dioxide bubbles under pressure through the solution, sodium bicarbonate is formed.
Side effects of baking soda
Now that you know all about baking soda, let’s talk about how to use it properly. Although larger quantities of baking soda have been used to remedy indigestion, in much the same way antacids are used, you can still go overboard and risk side effects. Drinking baking soda is like drinking salt water. It’s extremely high in sodium and will raise your blood pressure. And too much sodium is linked to kidney and heart issues in healthy people.
And of course, too much baking soda in your coffee can leave you with a less than tasty cup that leaves you with a soapy taste in your mouth. Generally, to reduce the acidic nature of coffee, just a small pinch is all you need. Enjoy!

Do you put baking soda in your first morning coffee only or every time you have a coffee. Thank you
I use a tiny pinch in my first cup.
Can you put in Tea
I am wondering the same as I don’t drink coffee.
Can I use in tea? Don’t drink coffee + allergic 2 milk! Can someone help me?
I would like to know the answer to that as I drink herbal tea every morning
Use Baking soda to freshen and absorb smells In your refrigerator. Baking powder is also used for leavening baked goods but needs an acid to activate like lemon juice, vinegar or buttermilk. Baking powder is also used to ma kg e baked goods rise. It includes baking soda and a powdered acid like cream of tarter. It is not recommended to use to absorb smells in your refrigerator.i
has this helped you loose weight
I have seen the same results from adding crushed egg shells to the coffee grounds when making a pot of coffee,saw it shown in an old John Wayne movie and went and googled it ,sure enough there it was.
My mother used to put egg shells in her coffee when she was having company. It made the coffee very clear. I think it was an old Swedish tradition. I didn’t know about John Wayne doing it.
Our moms and grandmas also did it when they used coffee pots without coffee baskets. They would break an egg in the pot and mix it into the coffee grounds. This not only made clear coffee it kept the grounds from free falling into the cup while pouring.
What did we do before google? Find some old folk to talk to!
Oh yeah all the time.
John Wayne movies western
TV shows like
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Lancer Etc
Every time!
I have seen blog posts where the person making the coffee adds a pinch to the grounds before brewing.
I put a quarter teaspoon in my first cup daily. Only once. But hey, that’s me.
Baking soda or baking powder are they the same? Isn’t it baking soda 4 baking ? I put baking powder in my refrigerator and use 4 many other things!
I’m sorry, you seem to have it backwards. Baking powder helps dough rise. Baking soda absorbs odors in refrigerator and used to clean, etc. You can Google both for more information.
I use Baking soda in my fridge to absorb any unwanted odors.
Not the same thing. Definitely baking soda.
When I make my tea I put a 1/3 cup of baking soda in it it seemed to take the bitterness I know the tea I could drink it without any sugar in it in it at any time today is the reason why baking soda will do the job if you use it the right way
Baking powder is pretty much baking soda plus some dry acid (different brands may use different ones, and the results may slightly vary); it reacts and produces CO2, and serves as an alternative to yeast to make something rise.
Baking soda does not have the acid, although if added to something acid, it may have a similar effect.
Baking soda (brands like Arm & Hammer in the US) is MUCH cheaper than baking powder (Calumet, Rumford, Clabber Girl, etc).
I’m a home ec teacher and no they are not the same thing. Baking powder is a mixture that includes some baking soda, corn starch and other chemical leavening agents. baking soda is a single ingredient also used for leavening in baking, but well known for deodorizing properties and being a mild abrasive cleanser that won’t scratch.
No, baking powder is different from baking soda.
You want to put baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate smells from strongly scented items.
From Healthline.com
“While both products appear similar, they’re certainly not the same. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which requires an acid and a liquid to become activated and help baked goods rise. Conversely, baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, as well as an acid. It only needs a liquid to become activated.
Baking powder may be used as a substitute for baking soda. Still, its leavening power is not as strong as that of plain baking soda. … For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, use 3 teaspoons of baking powder as a replacement.”
If I were you Doris, I would use the less expensive Baking Soda for your refrigerator deodorizer. It has been used in this manner by our grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents, etc, as long as Baking Soda and refrigerators have been in existence.
Baking soda, as it’s called in the US, is bicarbonate of soda everywhere else, and baking powder is a mix of other chemicals. They are different – baking soda, bicarb, is alkaline and great for indigestion and odours and if you make a paste and put it on a burn straight away it takes away the damage and pain. Very useful product.
Every time you prepare coffee. Coffee is highly acidic. For every 8 oz cup of coffee you need 4 cups of water to counter the acidic. An acidic ph below 7.0 in our body is a leading contributor to the development of inflammation and cancer cells.
Does baking soda in my coffee help with weight loss?
Also, whenever you eat ANYTHING acidic, swish some baking soda and water in your mouth to neutralize the acid to protect your tooth enamel!
Great idea!
To digest your food properly your stomach needs to have a pH close to 4 which is very acid. The problem with acid reflux is more in the esophagus which needs a higher pH.
a 7
Does it change the flavor of the coffee?
I am trying it at the moment and I can’t tell in different.
Does baking soda change the flavour of coffee
How does adding baking soda to your daily routine turn into a whole different supplement that has to be purchased???!! As always, Its all part of the gimic that sucks you in. How manipulative! Its all about the money! I’m learning not to trust these stupid emails that suck you in like that! This was an interesting article that felt very informative to me though, so I will do my own research on baking soda now. Thank you for that! Ha,ha!!
Lori – you will find all of these comments about baking soda to be true. And it will cost you very little to do some experimenting – baking soda is cheap!!
You are on the right track, but the exit from your stomach likes to see PH 2.0 Before it will open. If it does not open, your stomach keeps dumping digestive enzymes into your stomach. Then the gas will push this mixture up into the esophagus, which has a weak sphincter because it does not have to fight gravity. This begins digesting your esophagus, and can severely damage, as well as pain and irritation. You need salt to produce hydrochloric acid. Enzymes in your stomach will break the salt down into sodium and chlorine. The sodium combines with co2 to form sodium bicarbonate. This is the primary buffer in your body that maintains the proper PH in your system. The chlorine allows your stomach to produce hydrochloric acid to digest your food. When the PH in your stomach drops to 2.0 The valve in the bottom of your stomace opens and dumps the digested food into your small intestine. Your small intestine does not like acid, so the body dumps sodium bicarbonate into the small intestine to utilize the acid. So having adequate salt in your system is essential to proper digestion, as well as maintaining the proper PH throughout your body.
Thank you – very helpful.
I recommend Jonnatan Wright’s book – Why stomach Acid is Good for you!
This has been a life changer for me.
I now use plenty of unrefined salt and also use Apple Cider Vinegar with salt or Lemon juice with salt to stimulate better digestion.
Salt is God’s good gift to us and more precious than gold for our health!!
Does it help you lose weight belly fat
Can you get the same benefits with potassium bicarbonate?
I put a pinch of baking soda in most of my coffee at home and there are benefits to eating an alkaline diet. One interesting thing I’ve read is that even though lemons are highly acidic they become alkaline in the gut. So it sounds like the body does make adjustments to your ph.
I was on an alkaline diet a couple of years ago and my doctor told me to add lemon juice to my water as water is acidic and the lemon juice neutralizes it! Go figure! So from then on I put a little lemon in my water.
Why not add a small amount of baking soda to your coffee grounds before processing your coffee? The entire pot of coffee would be ready to drink!
or a pinch of salt to the grounds.
I have been putting a pinch in my coffee for almost a year, i try to drink 2 cups with baking soda. Is that to much? I was having gout almost constantly but have not had it since. I also have type two diabetes
I add 1/4 teaspoon to the coffee grounds when I make coffee
Haven’t heard of soda in coffee but people used to put a punch in the coffee grounds before it perked!
While this is an excellent suggestion, let’s don’t forget the aging segment of the population. As we get older, we stop producing enough stomach acid to properly process our food into a format that the cells can use. The condition effectively causes malnutrition. This is not heresay or personal opinion. It was verified by a naturpath who treated a friend who had the condition. I was there personally to observe it and assist in getting the treatment going. AND I was in the doctor’s office for that diagnosis. Nothing wrong with a good cup of joe, but sometimes it’s just about that hot liquid hitting your throat.
We’re all in the ageing segment of the population – everyone is ageing all the time. 🙂
So is a new born baby. That was not the point.
Oh No! It can’t be true! I’m still 21 (In my mind at least!) 😉
Okay but when you start w/denatured food sources to begin with, it’s only down hill from there. That’s why super food supplements are really the only other option. It really doesn’t matter who says what about their food sources, the problem is all soils have been over-farmed and rotation and good soil cultivation practices are not strictly adhered too nor is anyone watching A farmer can be certified organic but that doesn’t mean what they grow is a powerhouse of nutrition either or they put enough back into the soil to really matter. Products were studied back in the 1930’s that had substandard nutritional profiles, much worse today. Anyway, older people need powerful super food support and maybe just stop drinking coffee altogether. The propaganda on coffee is off the charts, it extracts and uses valuable minerals(from bones) to process it, over stimulates your adrenals and you end up dumping calcium and other minerals out. If your older and have issues, just dump the coffee.
I use baking soda to lower my blood sugar by as much as50 to 60 points.This is more than insulin or metformin. It’s only 69 cents per box.
How much do you take a day for your diabetes?
Can I use a pinch baking soda in my milk coffee before bedtime
Wow! I am a Type 2 diabetic. How much baking soda per day do you use? Do you put it in coffee, or how do you use it?
Does this lower your blood sugar
Does baking soda work with tea?
Michael, I would appreciate knowing your baking soda remedy to lower blood sugar! My husband, whose name is Michael also, is a type 2 diabetic. I’m hoping this would help him. Thank you in advance!
Please tell how you use baking soda for your diabetes. I am type 2 and just turned 65 and started medicare and a supplement and drug plan. Just found out my insulin is going to cost me over $400 a month. That is more than half of my Social Security. If I could get results similar to you that might really help me. Please reply!
You might try investigating another Part D plan. Costs vary widely. Also, what about a pharmaceutical company assistance plan? These might help.
Geez I just tried to watch the video. At 10 minutes it said hello and welcome. I got out. Ridiculous!!!! 😲☹️
Try CBD and Magnesium Chloride, that help lower blood pressure. Also the Gerson Therapy will help you a lot.
There is a natural herb that stops diabetes. It us in a tab called Sucontrol D and is available at the local health food store or off Amazon. I take 2 a day and keep my glucose down. They also have a book Diabetes is Optional and it too is available at the health store and Amazon. My friend was on insulin and started this after I told her and she is no longer on insulin and very happy, insulin kills so get this and stay healthy you can check it out on the web.
Is there anything else that I would have to pay for? Like some kind of prescription to a news letter or something?
How did you do that?
Could you tell us how much you use for lowering sugar?
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is also good for metabolizing sugars
Hello Michael
I have type 2 how ,uch would I require to help with lowering my sugar. I hate take medications.
Thank you for your time and i formation.
Margaret
How do you use it?
Regarding your comment about using baking soda lower blood sugar. What proportions did you use to do this and how long did it take?
THANKS for that. Most of our medical conditions are from being tooo acidic any way. So by increasing our alkalinity, we are increasing our health. WOW!!!
Hello Michael,
I see many on here have asked you how you achieve controlling your blood sugar using baking soda, amount used, etc….. but you haven’t answered ANY of the questions! I know everyone affected would like to stop taking expensive pharmaceuticals if it is possible. If you see my comment, it would be greatly appreciated by all if you would PLEASE EXPLAIN how this is done.
now that is awsome i don’t have it yet and hope to never but thnx for posting
Thank you for this interesting article.
Folks, I bought some Potassium Bicarbonate to get away from the Sodium!!!! I use it in baking and anywhere I might use baking soda!!!!
Where do you get Potassium Bicarbonate? Thanks.
Why do you want Potassium Bicarbonate? It does not have the same properties as Sodium Bicarbonate. (I have been told not to use it because I am on medication to lower my blood pressure, so I avoid it like the plague!)
Baking Soda is the best antacid ever! It has no harmful side effects an immediately gets rid of the problem!
All I want to know is…HOW DOES IT TASTE? I know what baking soda tastes like and I’m not sure I would like it in my coffee.
I have been doing this and just add a pinch to my already made coffee. It tasted just fine. No detection of the baking soda. Try it that way. It is literally a pinch~
Di De, I have a Keurig and can’t put it in the grounds because the pods are closed. Are you saying you can put it in after brewing? If so then I will try it.
Can the baking soda be used in tea? I’m not a coffee drinker.
Try it once and then you will know what it tastes like
Makes a little smoother. does not change the taste
If using the proper amount you can’t taste it. Baking soda can be dangerous if taken in large quantities. because it alters the bloods pH it can throw your electrolyte balance off. This is a very unhealthy state to put your body in! So don’t overdue it. If using it for weight loss you should be under the direction of a physician.
I added 1/4 of a tsp of baking soda to my coffee grounds. My coffee had no taste. It absolutely ruined the flavor of my coffee. It was disappointing however I had less problems with stomach acid.
I have been doing this and just add a pinch to my already made coffee. It tasted just fine. No detection of the baking soda. Try it that way. It is literally a pinch~
Does it make it taste salty? I really dislike the taste of salt. Even salted caramel is too salty for me.
I put a 1/2 teaspoon of blackstrap molasses in my coffee along with some ginger, either fresh or powdered. This cuts the acidity for me. I also will brew my coffee with freshly squeezed ginger and freshly ground cardamom. Working in Asia for many years, I have enjoyed the masala coffee in the region from Oman to India to Malaysia and Singapore.
How do you squeeze ginger? It is so hard to even grate?
I freeze my ginger first, then grating
it is really easy!!
Good to hear that. Masala coffee is great but we never knew its true potential. It was just another Indian coffee selection to choose from. Glad you liked it. I’ll go for a cuppa when I go to the coffee shop next.
well this is something great idea to reduce the fat , because acid has the contains to melt and very likely said as age shoots we need some foreign bodies to get replace for stomach acid . let me try for a month .
I use Tylers Coffee, advertised as Worlds First Acid Free Coffee and organic. All health stores seem to carry it. In addition I add a teaspoon of Cordyceps organic medicinal mushroom powder, or other healthy mushroom, which is very alkaline and you cannot taste. Some companies carry pre-mixed coffee and mushroom powder. I know how it sounds but my homemade lattes taste great and as healthy as can be. PS-sugar is GMO and very acid so I use Stevia or similar sweeter as a diabetic in my previous life. PPS-I found out when I was a CKD Stage 4, now stage 2, that they give baking soda to dialysis patients.
Thank you for this info! I’m looking up Tyler’s as I type!
What is in my system that causes the commode to have black water line. A long time ago I that alcoholism would cause this problem, Do you have information of this subject:
Did you get the reason that you have the black water line in your commode? If so, can you email me this information? Thanks!!
I always heard that it is a sign of having hard water in your house, I’m sure I’m wrong but have always heard that.
Open the water tank of the toilet & inspect any metal parts. If you see corrosion or rust (including on the chain), you should replace those parts.They are usually the cause of rust stains in the bowl, but depending on what has corroded (sometimes the float), it may be leaving another color possibly black. Any hardware store, or Lowes/Home Depot carries parts & kits. Not expensive.
A shot of ACV+1tbsp honey in a glass of water does wonders for the stomach.
Especially if You also add a small shot of Aloe along with the ACV & Honey in a glass of warm Water.
I use 1tsp of baking soda in one cup of water when I get severe leg cramps. Works within 5 to 10 minutes. I can get leg cramps that last up to 30 minutes and go from my feet to my abdomen. Baking soda will stop them and they do not recur that night. My dad and brothers had or have the same problem. My dad told us about the baking soda solution.
Have you ever taken Magnesium? There are several different ones. You can buy it over the counter or get it as an RX. Being low on Magnesium can cause leg cramps as well. Talk to your doctor. It’s really helped me. I take 400 mg twice daily of over the counter Magnesium.
Thank you for this tip. I usually try getting a mustard bottle and keep taking some until I get some relief. If not this, some pickle juice or vinegar water.
Selser Water with Quinine will stop leg cramps.
I am salt deficient because of adrenal fatigue and I have the same problems. If I get the least dehydrated it also happens. I drink a tsp of sea salt in a glass of water every night before bed and try to drink plenty of water. The only problem is it gets me up at night several times for a bathroom trip.
Potassium deficiency is what the Doctor told me that caused my leg cramps. Banana has a lot of Potassium but high in sugar. I use a potassium supplement
When I told my daughter, who is a nurse, about getting leg cramps she suggested eating bananas. I eat one every 3 or 4 days and have had cramps only once since, I must have gone a few extra days without.
ACV WORKS FOR CRAMPS
Great idea! I get horrible cramps and, if helpful, I have found relief with a microwave heat pack. I’ll definitely add your suggestion to my regiment. Thanks!
Have got and rheumatoid arthritis whst can I do get my uric acid
Is this good for dark Circle at the eyes
Wow this sounds great for what I got
Do you WANT to neutralize it? Note that vinegar and lemon juice, also acidic, are generally known as substances that will have an effect to alkalize the body, or raise pH.
The advantages of soda bicarb seem to be good.
tYPE 2 DIABETICS SHOULDN’T5 TAKE INSULIN. It can be completley controlled with diet.
So true. My wife is type 2. She was getting free samples of insulin from her local NP because the cost of insulin was very high. She changed doctors and he immediately took her off of it.
The burning sensation associated with a bladder infection can be relieved with a teaspoon of BS dissolved in water. Better than drugs.
I mix mushroom coffee with a little Dunkin Donut coffee grinds and perk it. A wonderful mug of coffee and no
mushroom taste plus the benefit for my old brain.
Where do you find mushroom coffee?
I have a much healthier solution and its what I use. Buy a water ionizer from Enagic. It produces alkalized water which also has a negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential) that makes it into a antioxidant.
I brew my coffee with this water so that it naturally lowers it acidity and it also brings out more flavor because the water absorbs more than regular waters.
This way you don’t have to consume a powder that we don’t need to be eating every day and you are also getting the healthiest water on the planet at the same time. WIN WIN.
I put a little baking soda in any dish I prepare that has tomato base, like chili, vegetable soup, sloppy jo’s, spaghetti sauce… it’s amazing the results! Smoother taste and less stomach distress especially for my husband. I will start adding it to coffee now!
The article stated u could put a tsp of baking soda in your beans or a pinch in ur cup. However easier for you.
When I make pinto beans for refried beans, I always put a tsp. Baking Soda in with them while they are boiling. I also will put in cut up pieces of apple. It totally disintegrates with no apple flavour.
This sounds like a good idea, will try it for a month first up
How do you use it?
A friend told me to put 1/4 tsp of baking soda in water and drink it mid to late afternoon if you are dealing with tiredness. I’ve been drinking vinegar in water in the evening and also lemon juice in water on occasion. Having an alkaline system keeps you from getting sick too. I hear people talking about the perils of salt and mostly high blood pressure. I don’t know much about that but this is a culture that tells us not to eat salt. Salt makes stomach acid–the good kind–that helps to digest food. People who don’t eat salt may need food enzymes for better digestion.
Does BS help neutralize the oxalate in coffee that leads to kidney stones. I have CKD and am therefore restricted to one cup pet day.
I take 20 mg of Omeprazole every day for acid reflux and sometimes I get a cramp. Does this mean that if I take a pinch of baking soda in my first coffee every day it can cure the problems and I will no longer need the omeprazole.
Omeprazole will not fix your acid reflux and in the long run you will be sick, reflux happens due lack of acid, so what you need to do is to get before and after you eat, a pinch or more of Sodium Bicarbonate with 10 or 15 ml of apple vinegar so you can tell your liver and gallbladder that you are going to eat, that will help them produce bilis which is what you need to process proteins and fats. Check Dr. Peter Osborne and John Bergman, they talk about lack and the need of acid in the stomach.
I only drink one cup a day but will try it.I rarely get acid indigestion but when I do I take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and it is instantly cured. Apple cider vinegar is also good for your intestinal flora according to my research over the years.
Every time
I’ll stick with water & tea. Coffee equals licking battery post. I wouldn’t do that wouldn’t drink coffee. If you have to doctor up coffee that’s the wrong beverage. It’s like all the Stupid water that’s being hussled these days. The only thing that fraud is good for is giving doctors a good belly laugh. It’s all a scam people.
My cardiologist said that, according to newer research, up to 4 cups of coffee per day is actually beneficial. I thought I had to stop drinking it altogether because of the AFib and enlarged heart, but he told me otherwise. I believe this is research from 2019 that he was referring to – I remember seeing it at the time, but have forgotten the site – perhaps Mayo Clinic or PubMed.
I’ve used Baking Soda for the Gout, Works wonders, Melts the Uric acid crystals in your joints so your kidney can flush them out. Use it as soon as you fell it coming on.
Grind Himalayan salt in a coffee grinder, then mix 50/50 or 60/40 with baking soda before internal use, this will boost your minerals intake for the day while easing your coffee acid.
I don’t drink coffee. I do drink a 16 oz glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda every day. My Dr. told me, due to diabetes, my kidneys were not functioning properly. I read a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water every day would improve my kidney functions. I began drinking a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water every day. After three months, my Dr. told me my kidney functions we improving. After 6 months, she told me there was a tremendous improvement in my kidney functions. My husband was suffering from gout in his feet. He began adding 1/4 teaspoon to a pot of coffee. Now he very rarely complains about pain from gout.
Although I know that baking soda can neutralize acidity I didn’t think to put it in my coffee mostly because I figured it would taste bad lol.
1/4 teaspoon to a pot of coffee. What do you consider a pot, 4 cup, 5, 8? I make a 10 cup pot.
I use a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in my morning coffee. I have been using this method since March 2014. I was diagnosed with cancer in February of 2014 and My Ph level was well over 680. I spoke to one of my many doctors and they were all in agreement I should try Baking Soda added time my diet. Within 1 month my markers came down close to 400 points the month after that it was in the 100’s then the 60’s, then less then a year I was at a lower end of the single digits 4.5, 3.4. That’s where I remain today, just shy of 7 years later. So You see there are many benefits of Baking Soda!
Thank You For Allowing Me To Tell My Story

Way too cold to tale a walk outside.
Very interesting and helpful information
1/4 tsp or a little more disolved in a cup of water works better than Tums or Rolaids.
Looking for the article that was on your sight about curing diabetes 2. Please send me that info again. I would like to order it
Adding milk will also make your coffee less acidic….
