Did You Know: Our blood system is always working to keep itself at that narrow range of pH 7.3 to 7.45. This process is called homeostasis. When we drink a popular soft drink like colas, which has an acidic pH of 2.97, (more than 10,000 times more acidic than pH neutral water) the bloodstream does not lower itself to that level. Rather, the sugars and other elements in the drink are processed by the blood into acid wastes: some are eliminated and others are stored at various locations in the body. Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems. Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals – including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium – from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. As a result, the body can suffer severe and prolonged ‘corrosion’ due to high acidity – a condition that may go undetected for years.It affects virtually every person in our society because of the way we live, the way we eat, and the environment we live in. The result is an internal environment where disease can easily manifest, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment, which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease.
