Is it normal to eat baking soda raw?

OMG..I love the taste of Baking soda I even love the taste of alka seltzer. I got the Arm n hammer baking soda toothpaste and i add raw baking soda to that when I brush my teeth. I sometime get a small ball out the box and eat it.

I like the taste of a little Baking Soda.

water and freeze it everyday.I even brush
my teeth and wash my face with it every
morning.I also adding some to my scrambled
eggs.You can even by Baking Soda soap.I must

It's a condition called pica. Dirt, baking soda and chalk are all common, but it's not exactly healthy

Yeah, I do kinda like the taste of baking soda. Also chalk - o used to eat it when I was a kid.

I used to eat crisco, my dad tricked me into thinking that it was ice cream, and i liked it. Now, THAT is gross but baking soda, yeah that's a normal side effect of a nutrient deficiency, look it up, and ask your doctor

You should tell your dr. It means your body is lacking some vital nutrient. Good luck.

I always liked the taste of baking soda but it wasnt until i got pregnant in my third trimester i began eating it. Not a lot id just have a tiny amount on my pinky and eat it. I deliver in 4 weeks i wonder if itll stop lol

Kind of unrelated but I used to eat banana skins when I was little, still do it sometimes when no one is looking but to each his own I suppose :P

i used to eat flour raw.
...not so sure about baking soda though.

I brush my teeth with raw baking soda every couple weeks to clean my teeth really well. This may help satisfy your urge and ensure clean teeth.

I do it too :)

You ate chalk? That's weird, but erasers I guess is understandable, I ate crayons in kindergarten.
