Let’s clear this up first: baking soda does NOT burn belly fat. There’s no scientific evidence that it reduces body fat—especially not in a targeted area like the belly. Claims like that are mostly internet myths.
That said, Baking Soda is sometimes used in small amounts for temporary relief of acidity or bloating, which can make your stomach feel flatter—but that’s not fat loss.

🚨 Risks You Should Know
