facebook page: eat alkaline foods

[Guest guest]

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?
