Dr. Robert Young on CNN

if people addicted to sodas replaced sodas with water, that alone will cause them to loose weight. If they are drinking diet sodas which actually INCREASE appetite and replace those diet drinks with water, they will loose even more weight than those addicted to regular sodas.

what a horrible interview by a rude and annoying woman

I love the alkaline food chart on the Snyder Health site, but they don't cover even a 3rd of the fruits and veggies, etc out there and having more foods to choose from makes it easier to stick to an alkaline diet without getting bored.

Lots of websites list different foods (such as figs/dried figs, etc.) as being alkaline which the Snyder site either doesn't mention at all or lists as acidic.

Is there any more comprehensive source/listing of alkaline foods we can access online or elsewhere?

[SnyderHealth]

The reason we do not cover everything that exists that is part of the alkaline diet is because there are literally THOUSANDS of things you can eat. Our web site is not meant to be a "bible" on the topic, but more of an introduction.

There are indeed many web sites out there... but all one has to do is live by the rule, "Don't eat anything made by man."

For a more comprehensive list you can purchase almost any vegan cookbook, which will give you hundreds of alkaline recipes to choose from. :)

fat is acidic, right? so neutralizing it with an alkaline diet dissolves the fat tissues.

[SnyderHealth]

Fat accumulates in response to the acidic toxins in the body. When you lessen the amount of acidic waste the body rids itself of the excess fat, which is no longer needed.

How about adding some organic apple cider vinegar to one's fresh drinking water?

[SnyderHealth]

Just out of curiosity, why would ingesting acetic acid - which is a caustic toxin - be healthy for you?

[ckpeltomaa]

Especially if you are talking about the cheap white vinegar, but the organic apple cider vinegar -- a tablespoon added to a cup of water indicates to my body and it turns alkaline in the body. If not that then I substitute with freshly squeezed lemon juice which also turns alkaline in the body. My diet is high in acid-red meats so I do balance it with leafy green salads and these alkalanizing fluids.

[SnyderHealth]

All vinegar contains acetic acid... that is what vinegar is, organic or not. Lemon juice in water is great, but vinegar is not. It is inconsistent with human physiology. Do you know of any other species of animal eating vinegar?

You are right about acid buildup from meat. If you are going to continue to eat meat despite your being a human (herbivore) with a specific physiology as such, you should get yourself a good water ionizer to counteract the damage by the meat in your diet. :)

[ckpeltomaa]

I'm an "O" blood type and according to Dr. Peter D'Adamo's research the "O" blood types should have muscle mass that leans towards acid. Perhaps the other half of the population that is "A" blood types might benefit from alkalizing their muscle and tissue mass.

I need my beef and red meats and north atlantic cod, just take the toxins out of them -- and that includes the hormones.

[SnyderHealth]

To say that you "need your beef and red meats" is to disregard human anatomy which dictates that we are plant eaters by design... as there are physiological differences between carnivores and herbivores.

Current scientific research does not support DAdamos claim that blood type determines an individuals response to certain foods. Further, most critics of the plan cite the lack of a relationship between blood type and disease as well as the false assumptions made about the diet of early man.

[stimpyl]

we're on this. it is THE best permanent diet out there. I have plans for a homemade alkaline water charger as well - $50 to build. I lost 30 INCHES of fat (plus - not taking into account muscle increase), in ONE MONTH. Got ?s, let me know. This all goes along with my research and is completely opposite to Western Medicine !

[adebicki]

Dr. R. Young is %100 correct!!

[heightboosting]

I will try this, seems logical if you really think about it.... Great video

[aquasmash18]

how the hell did she get a job with CNN. I thought CNN was professional. This woman needs to let the guy talk.

[cherielynnae]

Dr Young... my guru!

Thank you for saving my life!

Viva avacado

[smokemybat]

i lost 90 pounds in 8 weeks by simply going vegan & eating more than one can imagine, no exorcise at all, but years later discovered that for the first time ever i was very fit which lots of sport never did for me. Vegan for 16 years. i realise now that it was mostly the acid / alkalinity change which works!

[horris2]

Some pools ph levels are probally better than our bloods ph.hahah

[aldfjak]

I did this diet and lost 50 pounds in 1 month.

[eckre]

Man... people are pretty dang vehamen about eating veggies.. Try it or read the book, before you judge. I lost 1 LB a day, 3 weeks I lost 20LB. I had more energy than every before, and these were "the last" 20 lb's not the first. Those are easy.

[OrestesValentine]

Wow, what an ignorant smarmy moron. And I'm referring to the interviewer.

[EdZep123]

She keeps talking over him!
