Simple. Baking soda is an inorganic base, and lemon juice is acid from citric acid an organic acid. When they react with each other you get sodium citrate, water and carbon dioxide. Sodium citrate is a salt, and when it gets to the stomach become sodium chloride, or common salt and citric acid. The citric acid which is made up of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon gets digested and becomes neutral (the carbon in the end becomes carbon dioxide, which is breathed out). Since the amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach has been reduced, this has an overall alkalizing effect on the body. Basically an inorganic base or acid will affecct the body's pH, but an organic one will not, since the organic will be nothing more than hydrogen, oxygen and carbon in various proportions, that breaks down to water, and carbon dioxide which is breathed out. Now there are some inorganic bases which also do not affect the ph, such as ammonia, as the nitrogen gets released upon digestion, leaving nothing but water.

If a base has a alkali metal in it, then it will alkalize the body, if it does not, it won't. Thus anything made with lithium, sodium, potassium and calcium will alkalize. On the acid side anything with sulfur (sulfate), chlorine or phosphorous (phosphate) will acidify. Those that don't have these will end up doing nothing, such as ammonium, nitrate, carbonate, citrate, acetate.

If you have one of each, they cancel, you have a salt which does nothing, such as sodium chloride.
