Wonders of Baking Soda

I've been using baking soda with my toothpaste for many years now. It doesn't just serve as a cleanser, whitener, it is also antibacterial, so it's a great alternative to mouthwash. I read somewhere you can also use it in cleaning vegetables to wash away harmful chemicals before preparing your meal. Most of the ones you buy from the supermarket, are made from baking soda anyway, so you can certainly make your own at home. All you need is at least 2 cups of tap water, a few tablespoon of baking soda, mix them in a bowl where you can scrub your vegies away.
