What are Ingredients in 'Baking Soda Water Shot' Weight Loss Recipe and did Oprah winfrey & Dr. Ania Jastreboff endorse it or this is a scam?
The science is clear: baking soda does not cause weight loss.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that baking soda helps a person lose weight. The body naturally regulates its pH levels, and what a person eats has very little effect on this process — so the idea that consuming baking soda makes the body more alkaline and promotes weight loss is very unlikely to work.
The baking soda "recipe" is just bait.
The real goal of these ads is to push viewers toward supplement bottles, "metabolism formulas," or other products through fake celebrity clips, fake doctor endorsements, and high-pressure checkout pages.
It can also be dangerous.
Baking soda is high in sodium, which can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in your body when consumed in large amounts. An electrolyte imbalance can cause headaches, fatigue, and muscle weakness — and in severe cases can be life-threatening
