It rises just as well, but doesn't leave that green-banana feeling on your teeth. I get it in the regular baking powder sections. Cheese is available that is not commercially processed. Try alta dena, available in the special foods section of grocery stores. Or, go to a health food store that carries the cheese in bulk -- it's less expensive. Instead of nondairy creamer, switch to milk or cream. Use stainless steel and cast iron instead of aluminum. I can't understand why anyone would use products like baking powder with aluminum, nondairy creamer or processed cheese when there are so many good tasting foods in this world!
