Can modifying the acid level of your blood help you lose weight?

Posted by admin in Diet QuestionsApr 2nd, 2009 | 2 responses

I have read "The pH Miracle" by Dr. Robert Young in which he claims that your blood is naturally alkaline (pH of 7.365) and that eating and drinking highly acidic foods (sweets, alcohol, coffee) lowers the pH of your blood and causes you to get fat because your body creates the fat in order to store the excess acid and thereby protect your body's organs from the excess acid. Has anyone had any experience with the process of keeping your blood more alkaline and losing weight as a result?
