Acid or alkaline urine is not relevant. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
