hmm... There is an overlap it seems to me. That if one eats food that is in the alkaline list they are also eating better compared to the SAD (standard American diet). In general it seems that the acid list of foods are also food any nutritionist would say eat less off. So the overlap of just trying to eat food that is of better nutritional value and alkaline is there. However the alkaline list is a subset of the better nutritional value list. Still, what does the nutritional value view say about eating only the acid foods or high ratio of the acid foods? Is it possible to eat all acid foods and get all the nutrients required? That would mean eating cheese, beer, coffee, wheat, meat, pasta, sugar as the main dishes? Would that be a bad diet? That would probably be a bad diet for the pH view as well as the nutritional value view.

Also, I've thought, in general (or in average), fresh whole raw/live food is going to be alkaline and also have more nutrient value.

And then, also, high glycemic foods tend to be acidic producing (but can't find where I read that). So then that may be common ground as well. That someone trying to eat low glycemic food is also getting more alkaline food into them. but then, I know, which is the healthy part of that? Low glycemic or alkaline?
