It's very important to not get fixated with the idea that "alkaline" food is somehow more superior than "Acidic" food. You need the best of both worlds for optimal health.

One of the misconceptions about PH is that lower value predipose us to cancer.The truth is cancerous cells produce enormous amount of lactic acid as a by product , this is why a cancereous patient will always have lower PH value but bare in mind that it's a symptom of the disease, not a cause. Trying to "alkalize" your blood would not fix the underlying cause of the problem.

CAT.INIST - tumor acidity

Solid tumours develop an acidic extracellular environment with high concentration of lactic acid, and lactic acid produced by glycolysis has been assumed to be the major cause of tumour acidity.
