    So...drinking something acidic makes the body less acidic?

    None. The ph diet crap is Woo of the highest caliber. Making our bodies more acidic Or alkaline would be deadly straight up. That's why our body regulates that.

    Looks like you don't know too much about physiology. Our bodies regulate our pH through several mechanisms, the fastest of which is breathing. It's not possible to change your pH through the food you eat.

    Also, if you were so ill that your pH was out of the normal range, your body your body handles being acidic better than being alkaline.

    Lifehack deserves some kind of award for packing that much derp and woo into a single article. Unfortunately, this is how diet myths continue to propagate.

    This is why you win the MFP internets for the day
