Alkalinizing Foods

 Practically all vegetables

 Practically all fruits, except blueberries, plums, prunes, and cranberries. Even citrus
fruits such as lemons, which we think of as being acidic, are alkaline-producing in the
body. They are rich in organic salts, like citrates, which are converted into
bicarbonates.
 Beans such as string, soy, lima, green, and snap
 Peas
 Potatoes
 Arrowroot flour
 Grains such as flax, millet, quinoa, and amaranth
 Nuts like almonds, pignoli, fresh coconut, and chestnuts
 Sprouted seeds of alfalfa, radish, and chia
 Unsprouted sesame
 Fresh unsalted butter
 Milk, cream, and goat’s milk
 Eggs
 Whey
 Plain yogurt
 Sweeteners like raw, unpasteurized honey, dried sugar cane juice (Sucanat), brown
rice syrup
 Fruit juices
 All vegetable juices
 Most herbal teas
 Garlic
 Cayenne pepper
 Gelatin
 Most herbs
 Miso
 Most vegetable and unprocessed sea salt
 Most all spices
 Vanilla extract
 Brewer’s yeast
 Most unprocessed, cold-pressed oils are neutral or alkaline-forming. (Even margarine
seems to be neutral, but I don’t recommend this “liquid plastic.”)
Acid-Forming Foods

 All meat (beef, pork, lamb, and chicken) and fish

 Rice (white, brown, or basmati)
 Cornmeal, oats, rye, spelt, wheat, bran
 Popcorn
 Pastas
 Breads and most other grain products, such as cereals (hot or cold), crackers, and
pastries
 The following beans (unless sprouted, in which case they become alkaline-
producing): pinto, navy, mung, lentils, black, garbanzo, red, white, adzuki, and broad
 Cheese (Parmesan and sharper cheeses are the worst)
 Sunflower and pumpkin seeds
 Wheat germ
 The following nuts: walnuts, pecans, cashews, dried coconut (fresh coconut is
alkaline-producing), pistachios, macadamias, filberts, Brazil nuts, and peanuts
 Colas
 Alcoholic drinks
 Coffee and other caffeinated drinks
 Sweetened yogurt
 Most forms of sweeteners (artificial sweeteners, cane sugar, beet sugar, barley syrup,
processed honey, maple syrup, molasses, fructose, lactose)
 Refined table salt
 Soy sauce
 Mustard (dried powder and processed)
 Ketchup (unless natural and homemade)
 Mayonnaise (unless natural and homemade)
 White vinegar (apple cider and sweet brown rice vinegar are less acid-producing and
preferred)
 Nutmeg
 Tobacco
 Practically all drugs
