I just made some brownies last night, and noted that my baking powder has
sodiumsilicoaluminate in it as an anti caking agent.  It is the only brand
of baking powder that my favorite grocery carries.  Any ideas for brands
and sources of good old fashioned baking powder (no aluminum)?  Maybe I'll
end up making my own - it can't be difficult!  Isn't it just baking soda
and cream of tartar?  Recipes???

I realize that the connection between aluminum compounds and health effects
is not proved, but aluminum provides so little advantage, why take chances?

Has anyone noted the analogy to the Roman Empire's problems with lead (they
actually made COOKING VESSELS out of it!!! :-) How stupid of them.)
