Is it possible to chemically bind baking soda and maple syrup by cooking on the stove top?

If baking soda and maple syrup are bound by cooking on the stove top could one drink the mixture and assume that the chemical bond between the two would go past the stomach and be taken up by cancer cells? Could this bound mixture reach the cells? Thanks for your opinions. RobP

the only thing that will happen is that some of the baking soda might dissolve in the water in the maple syrup. no chemical reaction will occur.
Once in the stomach the baking soda will be naturalized by stomach acid and form CO2 water and salt . the maypl syrup will be absorbed as a sugar solution.

Even if you could get these 2 materials to combine and get it to go to cancer cells, it is unlikely that it would have any significant effect as neither of these materials will have any significant anti cancer effect.
Normally when you are trying to kill disease causing organisms, you try to find a difference between the disease-causing organism and the cells of the person you’re trying to help. Then, you exploit this difference by making a medicinal compound which only interferes with the growth, replication, or some other essential function of the disease organism, but has minimal effects on the person’s cells or bodily processes. This is the fundimental method of developing medicines to fight disease.
If you want something to fight cancer, it is much harder, because the cancer cells are essentially the same as the person’s own body cells, so most of the cellular reaction pathways are identical to the “good” cells. Many of the cancer treatments rely on the fact that cancer cells are dividing more often than “good’ cells, so medicines are created that interfere with cell replication to try to selectively target the cancer cells.

put down the Bong.
Nothing you could come up with on your Westinghouse will ever reach a cancer cell.
it is remotely possible that you could burn the mixture on the stove and the combustion products would form soot on the ceiling of your dorm room…the College would then through you out of school and you’d live a desparate life selling baggies to strngers at the bus station.
