I don't know enough of the biochemistry... I assume having an imbalance in

certain elements can throw off the homeostasis, but, that homestasis system

is there, so yes, that if it is working right, eating " acidifying " foods will

not acidify your blood Ph. HOWEVER, the reason it won't, is because your

body will have to use minerals to alkalinize it... but these have to come

from somewhere: your bones. So it is still harmful. However, like

said, no one can agree on what foods are acid and alkaline, and lots of

things suggests it varies widely between individuals.

may not necessarily take straight from bones

...would go from other alkaline reserves first (sodium... this produces acid

salts thats eliminated) etc. I think calcium is last resort buffer from my

understanding..

I think our bodies do what needs to be done to survive
