Medical Forum / General / Alternative / May 2008Worried about Acid - Alkaline balance?
I don't recall any discussion of this topic in these groups. Please excuse if I missed it. Whole Foods had an article about it on their web site until recently but it now appears to be missing. Has the subject gone out of fashion? I just did a search on the Mayo Clinic web site and all that came up was an article about kidney stones.

Yes, more than 50 years ago, but it is kept alive by pseudonutritionists that need some basis for telling you that what mainstream nutritional science says is wrong. See, for example: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/coral2.html >> I don't recall any discussion of this topic in >> these groups. Please excuse if I missed it.

How much do you expect a 12-oz can of pop to lower serum pH? That's an easy one to test. | sh.t happens. Sometimes it happens to you. | +--- D. C.

If not, go there and do your research. Present us with studies you think support your claim, and of course please specify exactly what your claim is.

If you do this, I'll be > happy to take a look at your presentation and provide an opinion. You completely misread my post, or you can't read English. I made NO claim. Someone needs to make a claim - otherwise, what are we doing on a scientific forum? I don't care if it is your claim or someone else's. Obviously, if you are asking about a claim, you must have read about it somewhere. Can you provide any information on it? Saying that it was on a "health food" guru's web site at some point in the past is not going to help clarify what the claim is. Perhaps this guru realized it was nonsense and took it down, lest he/she might lose credibility (however much such a person has in the first place)?

I also suspect there is more metabolic energy used in neutralizing acidic effects of foods depending on food mixing. I've heard ph variation in diet is like temperature variation and the body adjusts. For what it is worth, I generally feel I digest monotrophic/non-acidic meals best and I assume I'm absorbing more nutrients this way. If I eat something acidic I try to eat it 20 minutes before or after less acidic foods so I have time to adjust to digest best. I noticed there was more info even in PubMed articles several years ago in regards to bone demineralization and acidic foods but in the last few years I see less. I did read a couple less popular explanations or theories of bone disease relating to dairy other than the ph issues though. What are your thoughts please?
