Concentrating on vegetables that you like to eat and find easy to prepare might be a good way to start. A big part of the appeal of acid foods is their convenience and it has to be said, many of them do taste good. However we all know that smoking is bad for the health. The same is true for nutrient vacant foods. Sodas taste nice but they have no real nutritional benefit for us and further then can have a detrimental effect on our teeth, bones and weight. The high levels of sugars can also be problematic for people concerned about their weight as well as cause issues regarding diabetes.

I am not surprised to hear about the different emphasis on results depending on who funded the reports. I did not know however that soft drinks had an acid effect. I know they do not agree with me, but I did not know about 'acid ash'. Fascinating. I think you have summed it up: avoid foods with low nutritional quality and find protein as much as through plant food as possible. Of course it's not so easy if all one's info comes from the mainstream to know WHAT is good nutrition - the marketing on say, soft drinks, is very persuasive.
