Day 40 Alkaline/Acid

As I mentioned before, my theory of humans dying of accumulated acidosis is the ultimate penalty for not alkanizing one's body. There are many books on balancing your diet to emphasize keeping the body from being poisoned by acid-forming foods. I picked up a new one entitled "Alkanize or Die." it has devised a scale for judging the Alkaline contents of foods. Neutral foods are rated at 4.0 with Acid-forming foods falling below this scale and alkaline foods falling above this level. For example extremely acid-forming (very harmful to eat) rate at 1.0 to 1.5. For example soft drinks are rated at 1.0. Beef, 1.0, shellfish, 2.0. Whereas, Fruit juices 5.0 to 6.5, celery 6.0, cayenne pepper 7.0.
I will evaluate my diet and determine what side of the fence they fall on.

Most health experts have a rule of raw vs. cooked foods. It is called the 80/20 rule. 80% raw and 20% cooked. I have tried to keep that requirement foremost in designing my diet.
