Pineapple, along with many of the tropical fruits, contain a high level of fruit sugar or fructose. Sugars are acid-forming in the body. The reason youâll note on non-researched websites (there are hundreds!), that pineapple and most other fruits are alkaline, is due to their citric acid content.Remember the lemon, very high in citric acidâ¦yet alkaline-forming in the body.ineapple, along with many of the tropical fruits, contain a high level of fruit sugar or fructose.

Foods that are alkaline are organic greens, healthy fats, whole grains, salads, green smoothies and juices, and raw nuts and seeds. Foods that are acidic are sugar, processed foods, gluten, dairy, meat, carbonated water and caffeine, alcohol, and high-sugar fruits. The alkaline diet is not about deprivation, but moderation. Your goal should be a nice balance of 80 percent alkaline-forming foods and no more than 20 percent acid-forming foods. Fueling your body with alkaline-rich foods and decreasing your acid intake will naturally balance and regulate your pH levels so your body doesn't have to do all the work in regulating it on its own.
