Dear Reader, Contrary to popular belief, eating acidic foods will not cause one's stomach, blood, or entire body to become more acidic. In fact, during the process of digestion, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid (HCl), a super-duper acidic substance that causes its contents to become acidic. Digestive enzymes, which begin their work in the stomach, require such an environment to function properly.
Imagine digesting food in the body is like burning it. The leftover ash is what is referred to as acidic or alkaline. This is what causes the blood pH balance to change, resulting in a host of possible diseases since the body's ability to absorb and use nutrients from food is reduced in a highly acidic environment.
