Baking Powder without Aluminum
Most baking powder contains aluminum, which research tells us can cause Alzheimer's Disease. Patients with the disease have been found to have larger amounts of aluminum in their bodies. Rumford Baking Powder has none, but you can quickly make your own to save money by mixing 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda and storing it in small amounts.
But the least expensive way of all is this, because you use 25% less of the ingredients with good results:
You can substitute 1/4 tsp. baking soda + 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar for 1 tsp. baking powder for good results!
Baking Soda as an Effective Deodorant
Avoid antiperspirants altogether, if you want to avoid aluminum. For an effective alternative, simply put about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of baking soda in your hand. Add a few drops of water to make a paste, and rub under each arm. Crystal stones are also available, but sometimes cause a rash and cost quite a bit more. Baking soda can get rid of and prevent underarm odor for several days with just one application.
Avoid Aluminum Cookware and Bakeware
Or if you do have aluminum bread pans, it would be helpful to line them with waxed paper so you do not ingest aluminum. For aluminum cake pans, trace a circle of waxed paper for the bottom each pan to avoid aluminum and to ensure that the cake will come out of the pan very easily.
