Mark, Thanks for the info. I’m working on an update to this post with a bit of additional information. I’ll use this stuff to formulate that.CheersScott

Jay, my man, you get out here and we’ll throw a party just because you’re here, regardless of whether it’s a house warming or not. I’ll include the vegetables so we stay properly alkalized.CheersScott

That’s because it’s perfectly acceptable to denounce meat, but to say anything that could be even remotely construed as “eat fewer fruits and vegetables” (and we all know that’s how certain factions of the world would take it) is worthy of being hanged.I like that quote. True science is about learning more than proving points. Much like Mr. Darwin did on his first voyage that resulted in “Origin Of Species”…his goal was to disprove evolution and instead he proved it to himself. That’s science!CheersScott

Oh, sorry, skimmed right over that part. My bad! Free makes it okay and sitting at a pool makes it better than something heavy. You’re forgiven!CheersScott

I’ll make it a little easier….The following may be of interest (all can be best found doing a Google Scholar search file type .pdf):Thomas Remer, “Influence of Diet on Acid-Base Balance.” Seminars in Dialysis – Vol. 13, No 4 (July-August) 2000 pp. 221-226.Thomas Remer and Freidrich Manz, “Potential renal acid load of foods and its influence on urine pH.” Journal of the American Dietetic Association, July 1995 Vol. 95, No 7 pp. 791-797.Frassetto, Sebastian et al., “Estimation of net endogenous noncarbonic acid production in humans from diet potassium and protein contents.” American Journal of Clinical, 1998;68:576-83.Frassetto, Sebastian et al., “Estimation of the net acid load of the diet of ancestral preagricultural Homo sapiens and their hominid ancestors.” American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002;76:1308-16.- – - Interestingly, Frassetto et al say that if grains and energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods (modern foods) were eliminated, meat and other animal foods could easily be increased while maintaining the alkaline-forming diet of the paleo man. **NB: it’s always ‘acid-forming’ foods and not ‘acid’ foods.For other info, try looking up “serum anion gap” on PubMed.

Hi Scot,I normally just read and enjoy the posts here. Most are spot on.However; here you have it wrong. It’s not the pH of foods, it’s the mineral content and the metabolites formed from them that determine if a food is acid-forming or alkali-forming.Potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium are alkalysing because the metabolise to bicarbonates & bases.Sulfur, phosphorous, chloride and organic acids are acid-forming – metabolize to acids.Look up articles from these researchers for more info: Thomas Remer & Friedrich Manz, Lynda Frassetto & Anthony Sebastian, Wildon Farwell & Eric Taylor.
