Acidic or Alkaline causing Foods
Find out which food causes an acidic or alkaline condition
The lists below categorize foods that are either acidic or alkaline based on the effect they have on urine pH. For example, if a food tends
to increase the acidity of urine after it is ingested, it is classified as an acid forming food. Conversely, if a food increases the
alkalinity of urine after it has been ingested, it is classified as an alkaline forming food. The effect foods have on urine pH may be quite
different than the pH of the foods themselves. For example, orange juice is a highly acidic food due to its high citrus acid content, but
after being metabolized it will cause urine to become alkaline.
