Mae 4/29/2009 3:46:55 AM | After reading John B's post on Acid vs Alkaline Ph balance in our systems I started becoming curious about which foods were Acid and which were Alkaline. Hope this following article and list helps everyone a bit. God bless you Richly with his perfect love, Mae________ Acid Alkaline Imbalance: Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition. A pH balanced diet, according to many experts, is a vital key to health maintenance. PH BALANCE FOODS CHART FOODS FROM MOST ALKALINE TO LEAST: Most Alkaline X Stevia X Lemons,Watermelon,Limes,Grapefruit,Mangoes,Papayas X Asparagus,Onions,Vegetable Juices,Parsley,Raw Spinach,Broccoli,Garlic X Olive Oil X Herb Teas,Lemon Water Alkaline X Maple Syrup,Rice Syrup X Dates,Figs,Melons,Grapes,Papaya,Kiwi,Blueberries,Apples,Pears,Raisins X Okra,Squash,Green Beans,Beets,Celery,Lettuce,Zucchini,Sweet Potato,Carob X Almonds X Flax Seed Oil X Green Tea Lowest Alkaline X Raw Honey,Raw Sugar X Oranges,Bananas,Cherries,Pineapple,Peaches,Avocados X Carrots,Tomatoes,Fresh Corn,Mushrooms,Cabbage,Peas,Potato Skins,Olives.Soybeans,Tofu X Chestnuts X Canola Oil X Amaranth, Millet, Wild Rice, Quinoa X Soy Cheese, Soy Milk, Goat milk, Goat Cheese, Whey X Ginger Tea FROM MOST ACID TO LEAST: Most Acid u NutraSweet, Equal, Aspartame, Sweet n Low u Blackberries, Cranberries, Prunes u Chocolate u Peanuts u Wheat, White Flour, Pastries, Pasta u Beef, Pork, Shellfish u Cheese, Homogenized Milk ,Ice Cream u Beer, Soft Drinks Acid u White Sugar, Brown sugar u Sour Cherries,Rhubarb u Potatoes (without skins),Pinto Beans,Navy Beans, Lima Beans u Pecans,Cashews u White Rice,Corn, Buckwheat, Oats, Rye u Turkey, Chicken, Lamb u Raw Milk u Coffee Lowest Acid u Processed Honey, Molasses u Plums, Processed Fruit Juices u Cooked Spinach, Kidney Beans, String Beans u Pumpkin Seed, Sunflower Seeds u Corn Oil u Sprouted Wheat Bread, Spelt, Brown Rice u Venison, Cold Water Fish u Eggs, Butter, Yogurt, Buttermilk, Cottage Cheese u Tea Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming. _____ Article by permission of Dr. Duane Weed |

Peter 11/29/2012 2:49:03 PM | Hello everybody I wanted to respond to John's post about Proton Pump Inhibitors. I had been taking Prilosac for about 3 years before becoming sick with Morgellons. I decided to stop taking it when I began the Protocol as I did not want anything to interfere with it. Honestly, I now feel it was creating a negative situation for me as to my digestion. Now I am completely convinced that diet and consuming alkaline foods has totally corrected all my prior digestive issues! Great info, John. |
Penny 11/28/2012 10:07:53 AM | Thanks for such a concise list - I am beginning research on this as I have illnesses related to high acidic conditions in my stomach/GI tract, including Barrett's and precancerous cellular changes. The meds they give me are all anti acid, so why not try an anti-acid diet first???? So, it makes sense to me to try and balance this out with alkaline based. Thanks for such great information. |
