Baking powder is a kind of leavening agent, but there is also a certain difference between leavening agent and baking powder in use:

It can be consumed, but it is not recommended for regular use. Here's why:
1, no nutrition, often eat unsafe. Because leavening agent and baking powder are chemical reaction expansion, not yeast powder fungal activity expansion, yeast can be directly eaten and digested, and can supplement protein, etc., and leavening agent and baking powder itself has no nutritional value, belongs to the chemical raw material blend, so there is no benefit to eating more;
2, too many additives, eat more is not beneficial. Because the leavening agent and baking powder are compound blending additives, itself contains baking soda, calcium carbonate, starch, gluconic acid, pyrophosphate, citric acid, malic acid, etc. A series, too many additives, the proportion is also uneven, too much ingredients, can not guarantee that there is no harm in eating more, it is not recommended to use commonly, and it is better to use yeast powder.
