Baking powder won't hurt you unless you eat a lot of it. Baking powder is mainly used in cooking and, when combined with other ingredients, it is a leavening agent.
Baking powder contains the following ingredients, listed in the order of the highest amount to the least amount:
Corn starch
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
Sodium Aluminum Sulfate
Monocalcium Phosphate
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), but not baking powder, can be used as an antacid for heartburn and indigestion by mixing 1/2 teaspoon with a half a glass of water. But is is high in sodium, so if you are on a sodium restricted diet, consult your physician before using this as an antacid.
