Product Description
Synopsis
Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of best-selling acid/alkaline based diets. These have ranged from weight loss to diabetes management. While hundreds of thousands of people have gone on this diet that balances the pH level of your body, they have had to put up with the limited food guides contained in each book. Now, health experts Dr. Susan Brown and Larry Trivieri have created a complete resource for people wanting to widen their food choices. "The Acid/Alkaline Food Guide" offers dieters an easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence your body's pH levels. The book begins by explaining what the acid/alkaline of your body has to do with the acid/alkaline influence of foods. It then explains how the pH of foods, once eaten, may change in your body, eg. citric acid fruits, once digested, become alkaline. As complicated as this process is, the authors provide the guidelines for the analysis of the foods covered in the book. This section is then followed by a listing of thousands of foods and their acid/alkaline ranges. Included are insets and groups that can help the reader better direct their food searches.

This book is better out of the 2 acid book I read, as this diet isn't as restrictive as the other book. It provides a logical diet to start with and then continue on, if you want to change your lifestyle. I've heard many good things about this diet, from people with artritic pain (like me) so I thought I'd give it a go! I only followed this diet for a few days, but my skin got a lots clearer, and I didn't get sugar highs and lows all day, so hopefully in the long term my back pain will be helped a bit! If I can last on this diet! No meat, dairy, processed food, coffee.. or even worse... alcohol!

I am somewhat sceptical about the acid/alkaline theory, partly because I didn't find the various proponents convincing and partly because they do not agree with each other about which foods cause acidity or alkalinity. However, because all of them lead to advocating a style of eating that more or less agrees with other theories - high vegetable & fruit intake, modicums of protein, little carbs - I found it plausible.
This book, for the first time for me, gives a reasonably scientific basis (without being dogmatic) for the whole idea. And so I am more convinced, enough to be now following it more strictly - with measurable results.

Acid Alkaline Food Guide: A Quick Reference to Foods and Their PH LevelsA good start to this subject, easy to use and therefore very useful to check items until you become more practised when you will know what foods generate high or low pH values.
Well worth the money, especially after being pain free from stomach problems after following this information.

Acid-Alkaline Food Guide
The basic principle of learning which foods are acidic when digested (and therefore harmful to the body) and which are alkaline is explained well in Susan Brown's guide book. Read more

Educating but probably not the whole picture
This was the first book ever that introduced me to the idea that the state of your health might be dependent upon the pH of your blood. Read more
