Скачать или смотреть 10 Baking Soda Brands Sold in Australia to AVOID (They're Not What You Think)

Most of the baking soda sitting in Australian pantries isn't a natural mineral at all. It's a synthetic chemical byproduct created in industrial facilities using ammonia and brine. You've been told it's a pure household staple. But the reality is that the same powder you're putting into your children's Anzac biscuits is technically identical to the industrial grade used to treat wastewater and neutralize factory emissions. Over the next 10 minutes, I'm pulling back the curtain on the Solvay process, the hidden heavy metal risks, and the marketing lies that allow companies to sell you lab grown chemicals as natural ingredients. From the budget supermarket brands to the professional chef products that are all industrial chemicals, we are ranking the most popular brands from worst to worst. You're about to find out exactly what you've been feeding your family.

The secret the Australian food industry doesn't want you to know is that there are two types of baking soda. The kind that is mined directly from the earth and the kind that is manufactured in a lab. Because it is cheaper to create a chemical reaction than it is to mine a mineral, the synthetic giants have taken over 90% of the market. My investigation started with the brands that rely on the Solvay process, a massive industrial operation that uses ammonia to transform salt and limestone into sodium bicarbonate. While it meets the bare minimum food grade standards, it lacks the crystalline purity of natural minerals and often carries the baggage of its industrial birth.
