Here's an interesting description (for the layperson-like me) of the importance of balanced pH levels in the body and the foods that tend to increase or decrease these levels:

One thing I don't understand: you should avoid citrus fruits and juices while taking amphetamines because they decrease absorption, right?
I assumed that the reason for this was because of the acidity of such foods (especially after hearing that alkalyzing agents have the converse affect, increasing amphetamine absorption).
But, on this site, citrus fruits are said to INCREASE your body's pH, in spite of their acidic taste.
So why do they decrease amph. absorption?
Sorry, I'm very new to this, and I'm probably overlooking the obvious.
thanks,
