>Best Alkaline Foods >they're all fucking acidic

Yes

Also people seem to have no concept of buffering capacity in the stomach/intestines/blood, and that acidity is basically irrelevant unless you're downing 1M HCL. But it makes money, or at least makes people think you're healthy/knowledgable, so this shit is perpetuated.

It's not the ph of the food itself you retard, it's the end result of the digestion of the food

>Nonvolatile acid is produced from the metabolism of organic sulfur in dietary protein and the production of organic anions during the combustion of neutral foods. Organic anion salts that are found primarily in plant foods are directly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and yield bicarbonate. The difference between endogenously produced nonvolatile acid and absorbed alkali precursors yields the dietary acid load, technically known as the net endogenous acid production, and must be excreted by the kidney to maintain acid-base balance.
>In the setting of CKD, a high dietary acid load invokes adaptive mechanisms to increase acid excretion despite reduced nephron number, such as increased per nephron ammoniagenesis and augmented distal acid excretion mediated by the renin-angiotensin system and endothelin-1. These adaptations may promote kidney injury.
>Additionally, high dietary acid loads produce low-grade, subclinical acidosis that may result in bone and muscle loss. Early studies suggest that lowering the dietary acid load can improve subclinical acidosis, preserve bone and muscle, and slow the decline of glomerular filtration rate in animal models and humans

They're "alkalinizing", not alkaline. For example, the citric acid in lemons consumes protons as renal cells metabolize it, while potassium and magnesium enhance the bicarbonate reabsorption.

Lets wait on something conclusive shall we?

Do you know what science is?

>>39443146
Yeah, sounds more like you're just overestimating the body's homeostatic mechanisms and the net contribution your mouth makes. Several interventional trials have demonstrated real effects, like increased net protein and calcium balance, insulin sensitivity and exercise performance.

Eating acidic foods leads to alkalinization

Eating alkaline food leads to acidification

Please stop making shit threads

Cucumbers fuck you up bro
Stay safe

Food pH balance is all a bunch of invented hippy bullshit anyways. If your foods had even a fraction of the effect on your blog pH that these vegan liars claimed they did, you would die very quickly.

People ho doesn't know what they talk about, talk about it like that, but of course it doesn't make sense that way.

As mentioned here >>39443215 it's more about eating enough minerals to provide the body with needed resources to buffer acids, which are necessary as well.
