Acidity/Alkalinity [pH] Balancing Theory is False!
Balancing acidity and
alkalinity [pH] in the body is a non-issue when it comes to health. In fact it has become a fad that is totally
unnecessary, and can be harmful to health. Dr. Weston A. Price points out in his book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" that good health is more related to the
mineral activator content in nutrition:
"It is my belief that much
harm has been done through the misconception that acidity and alkalinity were
something apart from minerals and other elements. Many food faddists have
undertaken to list foods on the basis of their acidity and alkalinity without
the apparent understanding of the disturbances that are produced by, for
example, condemning a food because it contains phosphoric acid, not appreciating
that phosphorus can only be acid until it is neutralized by combining with a
base."
See Acidity & Alkalinity Balancing (pH) for Dr. Price's complete article and a summary of Michael J. Bookallil's (The University of Sydney) study/research on acidity/alkalinity [pH balancing] that also debunks the theory.
