There are several positions one can take when it comes to any topic. Personally, I just provide the information that I know works for me. At the same time, I ensure that it is scientifically (and anecdotally) validated. The best way to experience the effects of an alkaline diet is to simply eat more alkaline-forming foods. When you feel the difference, that's the only thing that really counts. Thanks for your input Andrew. There are several positions one can take when it comes to any topic.

Acidosis or alkalosis are both unnatural states brought about by disease, when the acid/ base buffers cannot correct the imbalance any more and they lead to organ systems not functioning properly. Any attempt to 'alkalinise' or 'acidify' is just going to be corrected back to a physiological pH by the buffers in a healthy person. I'm not sure that the diets of our prehistoric ancestors (life expectancy 30) is something to aim for, although you could argue that we were meant to run after our food before we caught and ate it. PS: I am a big fan of your workouts. Yuri,

If its too acidic, then disease becomes apparant, so being 100% alkaline is a good thing, I think!!~ (: I disagree…I think that if we aim, or maintain an alkaline diet, that this is where are bodies are suppose to be naturally.

That's what I personally aim for - 80/20. Balance is key. Thanks for posting. I agree Ross. That’s what I personally aim for – 80/20. Balance is key. Thanks for posting.

The only thing I'd add is that you don't have to eat 'strictly' alkaline - you should aim for an 80/20 balance (or 70/30 to begin with). Good work though, it's good to see someone else spreading the word. Have a great day Ross Hey Yuri
