Décomposition de l'affirmation :
📝 Vérification: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can enhance performance in high-intensity exercise by buffering the acid buildup in muscles, which may allow you to train longer and harder. It is also true that it's banned in horse racing for this reason. However, comparing it to steroids is a significant exaggeration. Steroids are powerful hormones with substantial effects on muscle growth and strength, along with serious side effects. Baking soda is a buffering agent with a much more modest and temporary effect on performance.
