Many foods that are

Kirt:
And blueberries if I remember. You may be onto something. I don't know much
at all about acid/alkaline.
Now that you have given me the reminder, I believe cranberries should be
added to the list. I believe Bernard Jensen, said that cranberries were the
one food that was so acidic that no one should eat them under any condition.
The acid/alkaline theory makes sense to me. I wish I knew more about the
physiology of the pH balance, I have gotten most of my information from the
books recently written by the raw authors of recent years.
Several of the raw vegans I know, after a number of years got to a very
ungrounded and what I might call mentally unstable or at least
hyper-sensitive emotional state. Some have begun to add raw dairy (acidic),
a small amount of cooked vegetables, or lots of nuts. For some the raw
dairy is to acidic and actually burned their throats.
