Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Dear Tina, The pH List in the Files is quite comprehensive though not complete. There is no way one can determine pH by the label since no manufacturer will do this. IE. The Total Nutrition is Alkaline, but I only cover this in the data sheet and not the label. Perhaps an oversight on my part, but we were limited for space. ;o) Cooking or processing food does not necessarily change the pH, but I'll qualify that by saying it does depend on the method used to do the processing. Cooking by itself will NOT change the pH.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Tina, whether a food is alkaline or acidic means the effect it has on your bodies pH, not the actual pH of the food. i.e. Lemons are acidic, but they have an alkaline effect on your system. Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 This is a strange list because they have grains/pasta at a much higher ph than all of the fruits...fruits are alkaline right? On the list they are all around 3...right or wrong?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 That's an interesting website, however....I don't think this website refers to the proper pH value we're looking for. It says " Data is presented for the edible portion of foods in their normal and natural state, unless otherwise designated. " The pH we need to know is the " ash-state " (or something like that), meaning the final pH after the body has processed it (or the pH it shows after being incinerated.) Please correct me (someone, anyone) if I'm wrong.Thanks,jillOn 9/13/06, Jasmina Alisic <jalisic579 wrote: http://www.eidusa.com/Theory_pH_FOOD.htm " Dr. Ian Shillington " <DocShillington (AT) Knology (DOT) net> wrote: Dear Tina, The pH List in the Files is quite comprehensive though not complete.
