The truth about acid-forming foods and diets
The average person can maintain normal acid-base balance through a wide range of acid intake from foods. Within minutes of an imbalance, your body compensates...
The theory is that an acid-forming diet leads to disease because it forces your body to use key minerals — like calcium, magnesium and potassium — as acid buffers, instead of using them for bone health, heart health and prevention of other diseases. Scientific research does not support this idea.
Research from several decades ago indicating that cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment has also been overridden by more recent discoveries that cancer cells likely create that acidic environment themselves.
Much of the research on the acid-alkaline balance of the diet is in relation to bone health, specifically osteoporosis. However, there is no solid evidence that dietary acid load causes osteoporosis or that an alkaline diet protects bones. In fact, recent research suggests that we need adequate protein to maintain healthy bones.
Many foods that have been classified as acid forming have not been specifically evaluated for their effects on bone health or other diseases. Instead, researchers have measured the pH of urine, which is not a reliable indicator of blood pH, let alone disease risk.
just about everything in your rebuttle piece seems to think the body can compensate repeatedly, indefinitely without breaking down or having imbalance after a while.
so what is cancer cells start the acidic problem in the body eating more foods that maintain acidic condition will feed the problem not thwart or reverse it.
we need variety of vitamin - nutrients. Fad diets or ways of eating like KETO are just that, latest fad, and have their own problems people willingly choose to be blind to because they want the short term result and don’t care about a decade or 3 down the road.
