No, it does not raise the pH of the human body. Please see buffer system for more info.
“No, it does not raise the pH of the human body.”
it WILL however definitely raise the pH of human urine. I tried an experiment ob myself with baking soda after studying the bullshit about acid/alkaline diets, wondering if plain ol’ baking soda would raise the pH of my urine.
Boy did it ever! used litmus-type pH strips before and after ingesting baking soda, which turned the damned things purple afterwards! Very doubtful that the baking soda changed the blood pH one whit, which is the BS nonsense claimed for acid/alkaline diets, namely that certain foods change the blood pH and the way to measure that is by measuring urine pH ...
Correct. Your body will produced chemicals to stabilize your pH. My understanding is no that an alkaline diet raises your pH, but that alkaline intake prevents your body from having to secret harmful chemicals in order to raise your pH.
I believe the same thing about cholesterol. People on very low cholesterol diets force their liver to convert fat to cholesterol, resulting in a release of bad LDL cholesterol. If you eat enough eggs and steak and have a sufficient cholesterol intake to meet your needs, then the liver can rest and do other things, and it doesn’t flood you with bad LDLs.
