27. ALKALINE + ACID FOODS
• If the organs are compromised as a result of an
acidic diet, then it can lead to eczema, dermatitis,
rashes and breakouts.
• The standard Australian diet is primarily composed
of acidic or acidifying foods such as meat, cheese,
grains and cereals, sugars and stimulants like
tobacco, coffee, tea and alcohol.
• Alkaline foods such as vegetables, are eaten in
much smaller quantities and their alkaline content is
insufficient to neutralize surplus acids, which leads
to an acidic pH in the body.
