> Acidic agents include citrus, fruits and their juices, citric acid, and VITAMIN C. That is why Vit C is contraindicated, like you mentioned. Vit C in its natural form (l-ascorbic acid) is very acidic, definitely affects urinary pH.
ok-so V-C does acidify your system?
I have been seeing alot of info lately about alkalinity being good and acidity of the body being unhealthy and related to eating and drinking all the stuff that we have already been told was bad for us. Sugar, soda, highly processed empty carb ect. And that many fruits and vegs aid in alkalinizing the system even though many of the best of these are high in v-c.
I also thought that V-C, although counter-intuitive, will raise PH.This is not a hugely important point-just a question that I have.
I avoid all V-c throughout the day and I don't think that is healthy. I'm sure I rarely manage to get enough at night. Sometimes I eat a little fruit and then take a little baking soda before meds. I have to take my stims 3-4 times daily due to small amounts with short durations which works best for me.
Thanks for the explanation. This is how I understand it too.
Thanks!
