can a person actually swim in a pool full of baking powder?

Question

is it made out of natural substances?

theres a beach in italy where theres this huge plant where they create baking powder, or 'bicarbonato'. they spill all the remaining chemicals into the beach making the water turn light blue and white sand, its pretty sight, really but when you get in, you cant even see what your stepping on, the water is too white.

just curious, is it an OK thing, for people to actually swim in this water? thousands of people go there, either way, no one obviously gets sick, but just wondering, what is this stuff made out of and is it natural??

the quick sand is actually true, when my bf began swimming more deep in the beach, he did tell me that at one point he felt he was sinking in and had to pull himself out quick before it was too late. creapy!!!

Answer 1

use baking powder for baking

Answer 2

Well, we have seen girls wrestle in puddles of jam or even mud!!

However, if you are planing to make a home made cake, perhaps you could skip in purchasing baking powder from your local store? Just put in the flour and your ingredients with some of that wonderful magic water and I guess at least you would have a really cheap home made cake?

Answer 3

Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3, or sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as baking soda, bread soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a soluble white anhydrous or crystalline chemical compound, with a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It is found in many mineral springs and also produced artificially.
