This reminded me about the marketing of tunafish that I had read about years 
ago.  I forget the names of the companies involved.  But one company almost put 
it's competitors out of business by advertising that THEIR tuna is guaranteed 
not to turn red in the can.   Turns out that there are naturally two different 
colors of tuna.... reddish flesh and whitish flesh.   

This was an extremely effective campaign since consumers immediately assumed 
something was wrong with the darker tuna and stopped buying those brands.    It 
got so bad that the government stepped in to put an end to the shenanigans.

Now, in modern times, the Red Mill folks are proudly proclaiming that THEIR 
baking soda has NO aluminum.   No doubt this is an accurate statement.  But it 
SUGGESTS that other brands do have aluminum and are hiding it.   

What's the truth?   I don't know, but if A & H says there isn't any, I'm taking 
them at their word.   I have no reason to think that it would be otherwise.

Since you seem to think you are the expert on this, tell me what form 
this aluminum is in. If you know so much about it, you must know the 
form. I have a box of A&H soda and will test for it.
