Study finds soda helps fight cancer

Therapy involves injection as part of liver treatment, not drinking liquid

A test of a cancer therapy by Chinese researchers based on baking soda - or sodium bicarbonate - shows promise but is still in the preliminary stages of research, and much more testing is needed, they said.

The researchers made the statement after heated discussion arose online about the research, with some netizens speculating that drinking sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water can cure cancer.
