"80/10/10 makes you acid right?"

Maybe you could have a raw/paleo eater do the same test and see if they are acidic?

Many people believe fruit is acidifying because the fruit itself is acid. Over-simplification. Little do they know that when fruit is eaten it is metabolized into bicarbonate minerals that have a pH 12-13.

 

But the digestive system needs to be able to metabolize fruit as fast as it breaks down in the body. To do this, combine your foods well and keep your fat intake well within 10% of your total calories.

 

Fruit is the most alkalizing food there is.

You have to pee on the strip also Harley. That will check your internal fluid aswell and that is suppose to be super important aswell in terms of thes "guru`s"

Anyone who's taken any sort of biology/physiology course would have learned that acid fruits such as lemon are alkalizing to the body, even though they have a highly acidic pH on their own... So i'm not sure why people have trouble believing that eating lots of fruit results in optimal pH balance. It seems like common sense to me.
