Re: facebook page: eat alkaline foods

[Guest guest]

All fruits are alkaline in the ash except for prunes, plums and

cranberries, which remain an acid ash. All vegetables also are alkaline except

for

corn, hominy, and lentils which produce an acid ash. Most meats, except for

bacon with high sodium, are acid as well as all breads. Fats are neutral

in ph and milk and milk products are alkaline except for cheese. You can

find this in our chapter on myelomeningocele, a form of spina bifida, page

101 in our book Pediatric Nutrition in Chronic Diseases and Developmental

Disorders.

You may find the book at a med library, at _www.oup.com/us_

(http://www.oup.com/us) promotion code 24095, or from me. We also have a 35

cr ADA

approved self study to go with it. The acid ash diet is used for urinary tract

infections.

Hope this is helpful to you. See attachment. Contact me if questions

I know this is not the most reader friendly chart but it is really useful. Look

at Table 2. The foods that have a negative value are your “alkaline†foods.

The foods that have a positive value are you more “acidic†foods. There are

two typos though.. Cherries and banana’s on table 2 should both be negative,

not positive.

Hi all,  is anyone familiar with this fb page/group?  How can they say fruits

and vegetables are alkaline when they are quite acidic?  One article the page

links to says water is neutral pH but f & v are alkaline.

I can't think of any of the top of my head that are truly alkaline and not just

not acidic (<4.6) enough to use the boiling water bath canning method.

About all I learned about acid/base balance was a mention of it in the flash

cards for the RD exam.   I double checked the Nutrition & Diet therapy

reference dictionary just now and figure whomever is pushing the diet doesn't

know how to explain it.

Anybody have patients on it?
