[quote]So does lemon or lime[/quote] This caught my eye like a big hook in the fish's eye. I had to read up on this and in fact, it appears what certain acidic food at the tongue are alkaline-forming once in the gut.

It makes me question even more the canned crap people drink to boost nutrition. Since the bulk of it is sugar based, I wonder if the net effect is it tilts the internal balance toward acidic? I hope so since I am on a mission how to pass the "rads-chemo" gauntlet by getting nutrition orally and skip the PEG.
