..."First, there is a difference of opinion as to which foods are acid forming and which are alkaline forming. For example, bananas, avocados, asparagus, artichokes, and spinach are considered by Zen Buddhists to be acid producing, while Western scientists believe them to be alkaline because, when burned, they leave mostly alkaline ashes. Second, the fact is that many acid-forming vegetables are very effective cleansers of the body's acidic wastes. The juice of carrots and beets, with their high percentage of acid-forming sulphur and phosphorus, effectively clean out the acidic wastes from the liver, kidneys, and bladder. The juice of cabbage, high in acidic chlorine and sulfur, cleanses the acid wastes adhering to the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestinal tract. An excellent remedy for gum disease and infections in general is the highly acidic vitamin C. Alkaline minerals are also effective cleansers. Potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium in dandelions, endive, and lettuce reduce hyperacidity in all the organs of the body. Indeed, acid and alkaline minerals act together to cleanse the body, just as a combined solution of vinegar (acid) and bicarbonate of soda (alkaline) makes an excellent household cleaner."
From "Reverse Aging" --
Pp. 21 & 22
"All kinds of soft drinks are very acidic, especially colas. In order to neutralize a glass of cola, it takes about 32 glasses of high pH alkaline water."
P. 43
"The process of maintaining the blood pH values to within a narrow range of 7.3 to 7.45 is much more complicated.
As I mentioned in Chapter 2, a glass of cola with its high pH value of 2.5 can change 10 gallons of water with a pH value of 7.4 into water with a 4.6 pH. As we drink highly acidic drinks or as we exercise, the blood becomes acidic instantaneously. The body must act quickly to restore the pH values back to the safe range."
Pp. 55 & 56
Blood Pressure and Sugar
"For people with hypertension, doctors advise them not to eat too much fatty food, to cut out meat, to eliminate sugar, and to stop smoking. They should add "cut out soft drinks" to that list. The riddle is: What are the commonalities of all these things? The answer is that they all rob your body of oxygen. Smoking not only reduces the available oxygen from your body but the nicotine has the effect of narrowing capillary vessels. We know by now that all of the acidic foods (i. e. ones that leave acidic wastes) and drinks lower your blood oxygen level. But what about sugar?
Sugar grabs oyxgen with the highest priority. Mr Gregory Grosbard of Miami, FL received a U.S. patent on improving plastic strength by using sugar. Each time plastic material goes through a heat cycle it loses strength, because oxygen in the atmosphere goes into the material under heat, creating oxygen "holes." As Mr. Grosbard mixed a small amount of sugar into the plastic material during the heat cycle, the sugar grabbed the oxygen first, making the plastic stronger."
Effects of Soft Drinks
"Soft drinks, especially the cola type, are highly acidic. A dentist friend of mine told me he can demonstrate the tooth decay process by submerging an extracted tooth into a glass of cola and watching it decay."
"Soft drinks are slow killers. It would be an interesting experiment to test the effects of alkaline water and soft drinks on laboratory mice. If we had three groups of mice evenly grouped as to their age and health condition and we gave one group of mice only cola type drinks; the second, distilled water; and the third, alkaline water, what would be the outcome? We can all guess as to which group would live the longest and which group would end up with the shortest lives.
Lately we have been alarmed by the incidence of younger people being hit by the so-called adult onset diseases which used to converge mainly on the 40-plus age group. I wouldn't be surprised if the frequency of these incidents are paralleled by the success and the growth of many of the soft drink companies.
The acidity of some soft drinks is caused by carbon dioxide, which is not so bad because we can eventually breath it out. But some soft drinks are highly acidic even after the carbon dioxide is all fizzled out. Perhaps the consumer advocates group should demand the acidity of the drinks to be clearly indicated on the labels of these soft drinks."
P. 115
"What I am telling the world is to drink alkaline water in order to wash out acidic wastes, the universal cause of many adult diseases. I am also telling the world to stay away from soft drinks, especially colas because they are acidic."
Well, that's probably more than anyone wanted to know on the subject, but I just wanted to give backup information for my statements.
