Down sides of using baking soda to whiten teeth?

I have heard that using baking soda to whiten teeth…

1) can scratch off enamel after time
2) tastes terrible
3) can make teeth less immune to cavities

I know 1 and 3 are similar/the same… I was just wondering if it went that far.

I was really hoping a dentist could answer.
Thanks
