Re: the fungus guy
there seems to be good reason to aim for higher body alkalinity
So, your body is made of tissues. Those are made of proteins. Proteins are made of amino acids.
You are literally made of acids. If your body became alkaline you would die - from the acids you are made of turning into salts.
Your stomach is full of really strong acid. Any alkaline food you eat will be immediately neutralized and no longer be alkaline - you can't make your body more alkaline, in general, and you cannot make it more alkaline with food or water.

He said amino acids are acids. But in fact each one contains both and a base and an acid.
They can still be acidic though...

Re: the fungus guy
Well, that was quite a blast of assertions that mostly sound to me like some kind of logic game.
They're true statements and logical. The argument is sound.
A plant-based diet just does increase alkalinity in the body,
Funny how you call it a game and then immediately write an unsupported assertion yourself. Not to mention that your assertion is false.
The pH of skin is around 5. Your skin is acidic. If it became alkaline then you would have a serious problem.
Or you could say it decreases acidity.
If you owe someone $100 and you pay them back $10 of it - it'd be silly to say that you had ten more dollars. You're still $90 in the hole - you don't have any money.
Decreasing the acidity of a solution some while still having it be acidic is not really an increase in alkalinity in the sense of you actually having the alkalinity. It's neutralized and the solution is still acidic.

Re: The evidence isn't so hot on either side
...I don't find it convincing Granny. I'm going with carrot juice and whatever else is on the diet if I have to choose.
Good! Eat your vegetables. It'll help.
Just don't think that you're making your body alkaline - that's retarded.

Re: Cherry juice, carrot juice, greens as healers
I kinda don't think the Mayo Clinic would confuse those things. In any case what we are talking about here is a nutrient that seems to be able to reduce the pain from joint inflammation whatever its cause.
Gout is arthritis but not all arthritis is gout.
Cherry juice helps gout but not necessarily arthritis in general.
