Forward: Fang zhouzi: a deceptive "acidic theory"

◇ New syntaxes (www.xys.org) (xys5.dxiong.com) (www.xinyusi.info) (xys2.dropin.org) ◇ lie "acidic Constitution Theory"-fang zhouzi-Chinese Health Care manufacturers like "Popular Science" and some unique "medical theories" as the basis for selling their products. In recent years, "acidic constitution theory" has become popular. Many people think of it as common medical knowledge, and even some doctors have followed it. The main point of this theory is: The blood of healthy people is weak alkaline, and the pH value is 7.35 ~ 7.45. Due to environmental pollution, abnormal living and eating habits, our physical fitness gradually becomes acidic. If the blood pH value is less than 7.35, It is acidic and has sub-health symptoms such as fatigue, memory loss, waist and leg pain, limb weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, sleep, insomnia, diarrhea, and constipation, if you do not pay attention to improvement, further development will lead to a disease, whether it is cancer, or common high blood pressure, diabetes, gout, etc., is due to eating more "acidic food" caused by physical acid. Therefore, acidic constitution is the source of all diseases. To avoid acidic constitution, we need to eat more alkaline food and less acidic food. A more effective way is to eat some health products with "acid-removing effect", or to the beauty salon for "acid-removing ". In China, a person surnamed Liang, WHO promotes health care, claims that "acidic Constitution Theory" was his first initiative. In fact, this is from abroad. People outside China who advocate "natural therapy" have long publicized these statements to promote health care products. It is regarded as an alternative medicine without scientific basis abroad and is not recognized by the medical community. Different foods have different pH values, some of which are acidic and some are alkaline. In this sense, foods can be divided into acidic foods and alkaline foods. However, this distinction does not make sense, because no matter what food, it turns into "acidic food" in the stomach ". Stomach acid is strongly acidic (including 0.2 ~ 0.4% of hydrochloric acid), pH can be as low as 1 ~ 2. Under its function, food becomes acidic. Food enters the intestinal tract from the stomach, and is Neutralization by alkaline intestinal fluids, and becomes "alkaline food ". Therefore, no matter whether the food is acidic or alkaline, the result is the same. It is first changed to "acidic food" and then to "alkaline food ". The "acidic constitution theory" advocates said that the "acidic foods" and "alkaline foods" they say are not classified based on the pH of the food, it is determined by the influence of the metabolic products of food on the pH of body fluids. For example, lemons that are obviously acidic are actually alkaline foods. However, a kind of food contains many chemical components. After digestion, absorption, and metabolism, they produce many metabolic products with different chemical properties, which of the following metabolic products determines the acid and alkaline properties of the original food? If we want to comprehensively measure the nature of all its metabolic products, how can we determine them? Therefore, there is no basis for such division. In fact, it is to say that good food is "alkaline", and bad food is "acidic ", therefore, the results of different "experts" are different. Sometimes they are in conflict with each other, so that they believe that their readers are at a loss. Even if these "experts" make specific research on the metabolic products of food, such a division is meaningless, this is because the metabolic products of food normally do not change the pH of the blood. There are various buffering substances in the blood, which are paired and constitute a buffer system. The most important among them is the hydrogen carbonate buffer system, which has a powerful buffer capability to ensure that the pH of the blood is not easily affected by the metabolic products. In addition, our body also has several mechanisms to maintain the balance between acid and alkali in the body. If the dietary protein intake is too high, the accumulation of amino acids produced by protein decomposition may lead to blood acidity, and calcium will be released from the bone to neutralize them. Therefore, excessive protein intake leads to calcium loss, which is detrimental to health, but this is not because they make the human body acidic. The carbon dioxide produced during cell metabolism is sent to the blood to form carbonate, which is the most acidic substance produced in the body. If too much carbon dioxide is accumulated, the blood may become acidic, however, we can breathe continuously to discharge carbon dioxide from the blood. Other acidic substances such as uric acid, acetone acid, and lactic acid are also produced during the metabolic process, which are discharged into the urine through the kidneys. The pH of the urine is very susceptible to the impact of food, but it is isolated from the excrement in the bladder, will not affect the human function. If, for some reason, the blood pH is less than 7.35, it is not a "acidic Constitution" of the so-called "sub-health", but a lactic acid, which is a serious disease to be treated. For example, due to a problem in the respiratory system, carbon dioxide emissions are impaired, resulting in a high concentration of carbonate in the blood; due to kidney function problems, resulting in Acid substances cannot be discharged through the urine; there are too many organic acids in the body due to diabetes, hypoxia, shock, and other conditions, which can lead to anemia. This is because the disease makes the body fluid acid, not the opposite. Conversely, if the blood pH value is higher than 7.45, It is alkali poisoning, which is also a serious disease to be treated. Therefore, it is not "alkaline" or "good. The "acidic constitution theory" advocates that the body environment can inhibit cancer if it is alkaline, killing cancer cells at pH 8.5, while normal cells can survive the cloud, which is nonsense. Under such conditions, normal cells are also killed. In short, "acidic constitution theory" is a deceptive pseudoscience theory. If you believe it and buy "Acid-removing" health care products, it is a waste of money. If you use it to guide your diet, it may cause physical harm. For example, cereals, fish, meat, and eggs are all promoted by "acidic Constitution Theory" as "acidic foods" to be avoided. In fact, they are all nutritious foods, if you avoid eating them for a long time, it will lead to malnutrition. A healthy diet should be a balanced diet. foods containing protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients should be properly ingested, you don't have to worry about the acidity or alkalinity. 2010.11.5 (xys20110102) ◇ (www.xys.org) (xys5.dxiong.com) (www.xinyusi.info) (xys2.dropin.org) ◇
