So.... apparently this subject has not been approached by scientists yet. If so, the findings are not etched in stone, ..... yet. The place I found that blueberries were acidifying, was in the book, Alkalize or Die. Of course I was distressed to see this as I eat a lot of blueberries. I don't know who we would consider the final authority and were we can get the best information. If you find it, please tell us about it.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Foods to avoid? That list is half wise, half idiotic. Barley is a food to avoid? Why? Chickpeas? Cranberries? Foods cooked with oils? Which oils, all oils? Nonsense. Legumes, Lentils? Ridiculous. Niacin???, is a " food " to avoid? Niacin is a " vitamin " present in all foods. Oatmeal? Nuts!!! Unbelievable! Nuts are among the best foods on earth, packed with excellent oils, bursting with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Popcorn, Plums!, Prunes!, Rice? Brown rice is a wonderful food. I went to an excellent natural-health practitioner, that would strongly disagree with many of the " freely " eatable foods items: Dulse, honey (in any amount), kelp, maple syrup, onions, apple cider vinegar, etc. This same doctor would disagree with the idea that fruit should be eaten " freely. " He allowed " 1 " serving of fruit, in the morning, balanced with lettuce, seeds and veg. juice. I haven't followed some of that natural-doctors strict, recommendations for foods to avoid, just as I won't follow many of the recommended foods-to-avoid list posted here. Like most such lists, compiled by people that are clumsy with research, and form nutritional ideas out of fads and gossip, they do more harm than good. - " Ray Boyer " <rrboyer Tuesday, August 13, 2002 12:21 PM Re: acid-alkaline foods > > Nuts seem to be listed under foods to avoid... Why is that? Anything wrong with organic, unsalted, unaltered nuts?... hmmm. > shar2 wrote:This website has a list of foods under the alkaline/acid category .

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Evening John, >Foods to avoid? That list is half wise, half idiotic. You said just what I was thinking. And... saved me a lot of typing. <grin> Thanks for the better view of things. Actually, I eat all kinds of foods. I think the only bad ones are the ones that have been tapered with by man.
