A member asked:
Is there anything to this "alkaline" and "acidic" thing? i think i hear it referred to as "ph." what do i need to know, if anything, about this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scale: Ph is a scale used to describe how acid or alkaline substances are. Knowing about acid foods is most important for people with acid reflux as it can be worsened by the acid content in the diet. A balanced diet is the best recipe against too much of anything.
