This sounds quite outlandish, but I have found 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2834485\/\">study<\/a> which shows that bicarbonate of soda (AKA Baking Soda), a very alkaline \u2018food\u2019 can reduce tumour size, albeit in large quantities. Whether or not the health benefits of the alkaline diet are down to the alkaline levels of the food per se, or the nutrient-dense foods that comprise the diet, is difficult to establish.<\/p>\n<p>The diet is also known as the \u2018alkaline-ash diet\u2019 because it is believed that once a food has been broken down and utilised for energy by the body, it leaves behind an ash residue. If a food produces an acidic ash, then it is thought to make you vulnerable to a number of diseases.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s important to note that food cannot change the pH of your blood \u2013 which should always remain between 7.35 and 7.45, but it can have an impact on the pH of urine. Those athletes who have ever supplemented with baking soda or beta alanine, will also tell you that the pH of your muscles can also have a dramatic impact on the way you feel and perform during intense exercise such as grappling or MMA.<\/p>\n<p>Modern scientific research does not support the theory that the alkaline diet prevents cancer, but many point out the many flaws in modern research, with much of it being sponsored by pharmaceutical companies (there&#8217;s even a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsusa.org\/about-us#.WbaHJNOGORs\">union of concerned scientists<\/a> who refuse corporate funding because of how corrupting it is). If you look hard enough, there\u2019s the odd study knocking about, like the baking soda one mentioned above. There are also studies which suggest that our ancestors ate diets which were high in alkaline foods \u2013 about 87% of all the foods consumed before agriculture &amp; farming became a thing, were thought to have been alkaline.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Foods to Avoid on the Alkaline Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Meat, poultry, fish, dairy, grains and alcohol<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Foods to Eat on the Alkaline Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fruits, nuts, legumes &amp; vegetables.
