I think it would be too easy to generally classify raw as alkaline
and cooked as acid-forming.
The different and raw almonds and sunflowers are an example.

But what concerns meats I recall a conversation here some years ago
when someone claimed (w.o. scientific backup) that "a raw meat diet"
whatever things this may include - would be on the alcaline side.

I must say, on one thing i stand corrected: *Some* people really do
eat meat raw.. here on the list.

Maybe someone who does eat meat raw could do the experiment for us.
It's really easy to do: Just eat for 2 says or so only (or almost only)
raw meat, and measure the ph of your urine with an indicator strip.
Or the opposite: a few days of fruit only (also not bad heh).

Any volounteers? (i could do the fruit and veggie test)

cheers
