Here's the other side of the story on acid foods..... Oliva
: Many people believe eating foods that "make the body (or the blood)
: acid" is bad for our health. Well folks, this is very simple. Eating
: any food does not make your blood or your body more or less acid.
: This is complete nonsense.
:
: You can eat acidic foods like citrus fruits, vinegar, and chemicals in
: food that you need such as ascorbic acid or folic acid and the level
: of acid in your bloodstream is completely unaffected. Your stomach
: produces strong acid to aid in digestion of your food, but the
: pancreas neutralizes this just after it leaves the stomach. There are
: foods that create acid or alkaline ash, but this affects the pH of
: urine only.
:
: HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Both your bloodstream
: and all your organs are buffered to maintain the pH level (the
: standard measure of acidity) within very close limits. Any deviation
: from this narrow range results in severe, life-threatening illness.
: You would need to eat an entire bottle of antacids at once to decrease
: the acidity of your body. There is very little you can do to increase
: the acidity because your body responds very rapidly so the pH of your
: blood does not vary as a result of eating.
