Not sure what you have been reading but recently my dermatologist
did not want me to use "hydrogen peroxide" on a skin spot.
Remember the days you "boiled" out a sore with hydrogen peroxide
to kill the germs, well there are questions about it's safety
now, however many physicians still suggest using it.
Don't think you want this in your food. Try using carbonated
water for extra lift along with baking powder.

: In the movement towards healthier cooking and baking, I have encountered a few cooks who suggest that hydrogen peroxide (without the preservatives) can be used as a chemical leavening agent? What have you heard? Have you tried it? Where can this type H2O2 be purchased? How does it work?
