Do I need to be alkaline?

Alkaline water is not the same thing as greens or “alkaline food”. Alkaline is such a misnomer and misunderstood term. People who say “alkaline food” have no idea what they’re talking about. It's obvious that they've never stuck a pH meter in kale or celery. It’s not alkaline, it’s neutral.

Acids aren’t bad, otherwise lemon water and apple cider vinegar wouldn’t be some of the healthiest things for the body. Greens and natural foods are healing not because of their pH. It's because of the vitamins, mineral, phytonutrients, fiber, etc. Whenever the word “alkaline” gets used in a conversation, run the other way as fast as you can! That individual doesn’t know what he or she is talking about. Kangen water is being sued by so many people for misleading and brainwashing them. People have even died because they had cancer, used alkaline water, and it got worse. Despite what you keep hearing, the stomach needs to be acidic or else things don't work right.
