Earlier this year I did 3 weeks of nothing but:

Cheesecake (1 whole crofters most days)

Ice cream (1/2 litre or 1 litre per day)

Chocolate Milk (2l most days)

Peanuts (average 80g per day during the week)

Potato chips (1/2 or 1 big bag per day during the week)

 

I did not die.  I did get a bit sick of cheesecake but I'm okay now

 

I'm pretty tired of being told that an otherwise healthy person will experience dangerous inflammation, contract cancer, metabolic acidosis, become overweight blah blah blah from eating food.  I lost one pound on 3,000+ calories most days.  I found it the next week though so it's all good.

 

Yeah I was prolly getting deficient in a number of micros but this was clearly an extreme trial and not how anyone should eat.  The point, though, is that it didn't hurt me.  To propose that any sensible diet, in the absence of a diagnosible medical condition, would hurt me is counter-intuitive and not borne out by science.

 

JFK addressed this some time ago:

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

No diet is ever going to alter your blood pH. Only severe illness or misuse of some cocktail of prescription medicines is going to change your blood pH.

pH in the blood is regulated between 36 and 44 nmol/L and hydrogen ion concentration is kept within +or-  0.0004mmol. But the body produces approximately 13000mmol of "acid" per day. 

In other words your body is already the f-ing business at controlling that stuff. What you eat wont make any difference. No need to worry - youve already got that shit covered. 

In fact  - one guy even injected his dog with 150ml of 1mol HCL and he was perfectly fine. his blood ph only changed by a few nmol. 

By all means - eat vegetables - they are great for you - but they wont be doing anyhting to your blood pH.
