I like coffee, but this is B.S. It’s acidic which is NOT good for your body. Our bodies function better in an alkaline environment vs. acidic.

Ya oughta contact UCLA and get them to quit wasting their time and money then studying this.
You are right chromium did the trick for me and Bragg’s apple cider vinegar with the mother in it.
Amazing!

Drink espresso--lower in acid and lower in caffeine. Add hot water if it's too strong--americano style. Or add a spot of milk if you like--macchiato. Or add lots of foamy milk if you like--latte and cappuccino.

You need a better understanding of pH balances in your body. pH is important at the cellular level and rigouously controlled by the body. pH of saliva and urine are poor indicators of body pH. An alkaline urine pH will often lead to kidney stones.
Yes, some foods are acidic, some alkaline. Any one kind of food to the exclusion of others is bad for the body. The bodies food intake needs to be balanced.
Besides the things pointed out in this article, you need to know that coffee is the greatest single source of antioxidants, food or beverage wise. This is also true of chocolate. If you have a desire for chocolate, dark is best (less of the bad sugar stuff).
So sit back, enjoy your morning and afternoon coffee it is good for you. And even an evening cup of coffee is ok, if you aren’t problemed with sleeplessness after drinking an evening cup.
Last time i checked physiology, the body is extraordinarily good at regulating pH within a narrow margin. I could be wrong of course, but consuming a food of either category does not turn the body in one direction or another. It stubbornly stays within that very very narrow range. If you have ever experienced hypoxia, you know this is true... the body works quickly and efficiently to restore its balance. Are you positive about this? Too many “junk science” alarms go off when I read about it. Take anyone’s pH.. it is miraculously narrow, unless of course you take urine pH which can vary because the renal system is a great restorer of overall pH.
Oh, no, it is NOT ‘not good for your body.’ It is a gift from God to help us get through life here on Earth, where it is NOT heaven. Coffee and chocolate and wine. And probably Twinkies.
Don’t you KNOW??
Not exactly.
The human body is very capable of dealing with even our worst choices of foods and beverages that are low pH (acid) or high pH (alkaline) (at least in the short term). Unless you are doing shots of battery acid, anything you would ever drink pales to the extreme acid nature (pH 1.2 to 3.0)of the normally functioning human stomach. Examples include: Lemon juice (pH 2.3), carbonated soda (pH 3.0 to 3.5), orange juice (pH 3.5), tomato juice (pH 4.5), coffee (pH 5.0), saliva (pH 6.35 to 6.85), milk (pH 6.8), blood ( pH 7.35 to 7.45), lye (pH 14.0) - obviously not a beverage of choice. Homeostatic mechanisms do absolutely maintain blood pH between 7.35 and 7.45. The pH of fluids both inside and outside cells remain nearly constant despite adding to, or the body's manufacturing of strong acids and/or bases. This is an amazing physiological phenomenon known as the buffer system. It easily deals with most acid/base challenges we throw at our bodies.
