The diet doesn't say to eat ONLY alkalizing foods. What it says is to eat 70-80% alkalizing foods and 20-30% acidic.
There are so many questions to be asked when you have "PH health author" making such a claim.

1) Is there any peer reviewed scientific study to prove that the 70/30 ph is the optimal ratio or it is merely based on basis mathematical application by another health expert ?

2) How do you ensure that you have consumed the right range of PH of the total food consumption . For instance, there is a difference between consuming 70% of food with PH 7.5 ( Slightly alkalizing )/ 30 % with PH 2 and 70% of food with PH 9 / 30% of food with PH 6 . Do you measure the PH value / ion(+ and -) of your blood/liver/organ of each food consumed?

3) Does the PH value / alkalizing or acidifying capabiltiy change according to soil quality ( mineral contents).

4) What is the real health impart ( backed by science ) if i were to consume 70% healthy Acidic food ( like walnuts, Olive oil, Avocado) / 30% healthy alkaline food?


I guess i just stick to the nutritional value of the food . Alkaline diet is too complicated for layman like myself
