Publisher's Synopsis
★★★The Alkaline diet is founded on the claim that consuming meals with a higher pH, or those that tend to be more alkaline, will help lower your risk of chronic diseases like cancer.
The alkaline diet, also called the alkaline lung burning ash diet or alkaline acid diet, was made popular by its celebrity fans.
But diets that work for celebs aren't necessarily designed to work for everyone or yield extensive results.
It's important to keep in mind that celebs may have people shopping for them, making their food, and going to the farmer's market and the grocery store - commitments that may not be practical for the rest of us when we go on a restrictive diet.
Not to mention, experts say, there's a lack of research behind the main principles of the alkaline diet - and for some people, the approach may come with health risks.★★★
