Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 My understanding of the mechanism for how acidic foods can be alkalinizing is that when the foods are digested/metabolized, the residue (ash) that is left is alkaline and has that effect on the body. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Usually they are using pasteurized/homogenized milk not raw and I have yet to see a chart that shows raw milk, butter, etc. I think it would be different.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 >I have yet >to see a chart that shows raw milk, butter, etc. I think it would be different. - No Difference. Proteins and fats are acidic to the body. Milk and butter are definitley acidic. If the molecule has an exrtra Hydrogen proton, it's acidic. Best alakaline foods are raw fruits and vegetables. Next best are cooked fruits and vegetables. Even so I would avoid over use of potatos or parsnips or any on the high glycemic index starch resevoir vegetables. With friuits, banannas are OK if you eat one but more at one time will give you a blood sugar bump. This might drift slightly off topic but as it started with the KT is realy alkaline post here's more on the pH balance in the body. Regarding that chart I sent, this an opening page to that site, I think you might want to puruse: http://www.rahoorkhuit.net/health/alkaline_vs_acid/acidosis_whats_eating_you.htm\ l Eat yer veggies: rusty Re: Re: KT Alkalinity Rusty, Milk?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Kombucha is acid but in the body it becomes alkaline.

Some sites say one and some the other and _many copy each other_. No one seems to know for sure. Many believe it is alkaline like citrus juice etc. For now, I will say that I lean toward alkaline but I don't know for sure:-)) Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev -- Re: KT Alkalinity Hi Bev. and Thank you: I believe the info was from an old chart from the American Diabetes society.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I have read it many places, books, websites, etc. that deal with Kombucha. It is a lot like lemons. Lemons are acidic but in our bodies they are alkaline. Don't know why only know that's how it is. Alkaline and Acid in our systems is established after the body uses it and what the ash is. Not the beginning product. Kind of interesting. I have read a lot about the alkaline/acid thing because I have been working on raising my body ph for a year now.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 There are some books by a Dr. Kunnin (i believe his name is), about Vermont folk medicine. His info is mainly about how acetic acid (from apple-cider vinegar) alkalizes the body, and how utterly important that is to us for a variety of reasons. As the KT culture is partially an Acetobacter culture, and produces acetic acid, i'd assume it would work in the body in a similar way.
