Considering that pH plays a major role in teeth health and acid-reflux, two things that a significant portion of the population suffers from and can dramatically reduce quality of life, shouldn’t the pH of a food item be just as important as nutritional values?

    Like the Carnivore diet which is being held as some secret to health, or alkline water, or “natural” bs, or raw milk, or “keto” and so on.

    As both a Carnivore and Keto person, it’s not that meat is magical, its that sugar is toxic.

        Technically, everything is toxic. Sugar has an LD50 of about 30 grams per kilo of bodyweight (and I promise you’ll be throwing up long before you get there).

        But sugar really is pretty bad for you, especially in the amounts some people eat it. It’s not “Toxic” though.
