>- Also, baking soda has salt in it and I try to keep my salt at less than 1 tsp a day in order to have normal blood pressure. Maybe in your combination it would not hurt me, but I don't know.
Doing the math here.
1/4 tsp in 1 gallon of water. 1 Gallon = 128 ounces. and approx 3 TBSP per ounce.
This means that it would take about 384 days to get 1/4 tsp of baking soda.
Or look at it another way. You are getting about 1/1000th of a tsp a day.
If you are that concerned, leave the baking soda out.
