Re: Acidity/Alkalinity and the fear of extremes

In Response To: First of all, I'm not this person!! (Julia Taylor)
Hi Julia! As David pointed out, us O's have not been advised by P D'A to avoid all acidic foods. (Spinach and horseradish are both listed as highly beneficial.) But I want to add that acid/base reactions proceed in our bodies in a complex manner, and the system is stablized by buffering systems using weak acids or bases and their related salts. If you take a 'conventional' nutrition book which lists vitamins and minerals and cross-check to the foods in the ER4YT diets, it is possible to select from the ER4YT lists to get all the nutrients. I don't find anything very extreme about the ER4YT diets at all, that's why I was willing to try it. What 'other examples' did you have in mind? Joan
