Further, different bodies may show different results because each person's inner chemistry is somewhat unique, and foods will differ in acid/alkaline balance based on various factors such as freshness, ...

Chemically, "pH" is the measurement of activity of hydrogen ions; whereas "p[H]" measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance. The two are closely related and often used interchangeably. The term ... Continue Reading

Almost all foods that we eat, after being digested, absorbed, and metabolised, release either an acid or an alkaline base (bicarbonate) into blood. Grains, fish, meat, poultry, shellfish, cheese, milk, and salt all produce acid. The mass consumption of these foods have caused our bodies to become overly acidic, which strips it of minerals. Over the long haul, those who do ... Continue Reading
