This sounded like BS to me so I looked it up, but it seems like there is some genuine scientific evidence that this is a real thing. The baking soda doesn't actually make it into your muscles, but it does lower the pH of your blood, which in turn pulls the lactic acid out of your muscles. http://doctoroffitness.com/resources/fitness-articles/item/q-a-using-bicarbonate-to-buffer-lactic-acid-in-athletes-2 http://doctoroffitness.com/resources/fitness-articles/item/q... . Checked a couple of the referenced articles and they seemed pretty legit.
