Hello Joe,

Sodium and bicarbonate are ionically bonded, the sodium ion being

positively charged and the bicarbonate ion negatively charged. These

bonds are weak and easily broken. Sodium bicarbonate dumped into

water will instantly dissolve due to the polar nature of the water

itself. The two ions stay dissociated in " hydration shells " and

held seperate from one another. If the water evaporates the ionic

bonds reform and you have sodium bicarbonate once again. Mixed with

stomach acid, baking soda creates a belch, which is you blowing off

the carbon dioxide that is released. The bloodstream, being an

aqueous solution carries the two ions seperately. To further

complicte things, the kidneys will recycle or eliminate bicarbonate

according to the needs of the body. This is one of the ways the body

maintains its pH level. The baking soda you drink might result in

the deposition of bicarbonate in the bladder, but it won't be there as

sodium bicarbonate. In addition to that those molecules of

bicarbonate you dump won't entirely be the same ones you drank since

there is always bicarbonate in the system anyway.
