The reaction produces Carbon Dioxide. Any combustion of Matter produces Carbon Dioxide. In the human body (action of enzymes) is the burning of "calories" when you exercise a lot.
Therefore, the relevancy is either you pollute or you get slim.
I hope you are not fat.

Homeostasis. In other words equilibrium. Or better stated balance. Acid base balance is critical for well being of all cells. Baking soda is alkali or neutral. Vinegar is acidic or acid base.The two work together to complete the activity of body processes. Too much acid and the body becomes in a state of metabolic acidosis. Too make base, and the body becomes in a state of metabolic alkalosis. The Respiratory system works to help the body maintain metabolic homeostasis by blowing off CO2 out of the lungs when you exhale or by conserving depending on the needs of the body. The body will always conserve the necessary Oxygen for the vital oragns first. So the oxygen when in low states is shunting to the central body or in other words to the body where the vital organs are located.

The reaction of baking soda and vinegar is basically an acid neutralization reaction. The active ingredient in baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. The bicarbonate part is what neutralizes the acid. Most antacids that you take for an upset stomach use calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate and neutralize stomach acid in a similar manner.

Acid + Base = oxidized acid + reduced base

This sort of stuff goes on in your stomach all the time.
