Problems with 'regular' baking powder and baking soda are two fold. The aluminum and the soda or sodium bicarbonate.

Aluminum may cause an inhibition of intestinal absorption of phosphorus and this may be followed by an increase in calcium loss. The effect is probably due to the binding of dietary phosphorus in the intestine by the aluminum. (Spencer & Lender, 1979). Much has been written on the harmful effects of aluminum.

As for sodium bicarbonate The Poison Control Center lists baking soda under poisons, with directions what to do if swallowed!! Many dieticians recommend avoiding baking soda because it interferes with nutrition absorption and can lead to inflammation of joints, etc.

The use of soda or baking powder is harmful and unnecessary. Soda causes inflammation of the stomach, and often poisons the entire system.? Counsels on Diet and Foods p342

There is new research suggesting the "old" baking soda's were laced with other chemicals due to the primitive refining processes and hygiene. Here is an article on this subject.
