Medically reviewed overview: baking soda cannot prevent or cure cancer; tumor-acidity research exists, but self-treatment is not established and more research is needed.
Sodium Bicarbonate / Baking Soda Cancer Therapy
Sodium Bicarbonate / Baking Soda Cancer Therapy is a alkalizing sodium-bicarbonate cancer-therapy claim promoted by some alternative sources around pH, tumor acidity, fungi theories, or metabolic stress. In cancer care, it should be evaluated by evidence level, intended use, safety, interactions, and whether it is being used as conventional treatment, supportive care, an experimental adjunct, or an alternative claim.
