Then immediately afterwards I was reading the PH Miracle -

and he says entirely the opposite about saturated fats. LOL.

It's really like that joke about 12 blind men describing an elephant

from the bits they are able to touch. And none of them are

describing the same thing remotely.

I'm sure that looked at narrowly from the perspective of PH,

saturated fats are bad for you because they are often acid,

not alkalinizing.

But that is not the totality of health - and I find myself, no doubt

not entirely for objective reason (I like fat!), not trusting the

PH perspective when it comes to fats.

Also, I'm surmising in the testing he is citing that they did not

differentiate between people eating high protein with lots of

preservatives and carbs and people on more of a restricted carb,

no preservative diet. Which, as we all know, makes a huge

difference.
