Guest guest Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 It acts in the body much like lemon juice - although it is acidic it helps the body alkalinize - I don't know the chemistry of it though.

There's a great youtube video about foods and ph; it's called something like how can diet drinks make us fat? It gives a lot of foods measured not by it's ph but by the ph it causes. I could dig it up if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yes, please dig up that video! I am extremely interested in any literature that explains the acid-to-alkaline change in the body. How do we know this happens? I have a friend who is on a strict alkalinizing diet and she is afraid to even try kombucha because of its low ph. Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
