What kind of people are "acidic"?
In recent years, people's living standards have improved. Everyone eats a lot and eats well, but why are they so sick? Overnutrition will lead to diseases, because overnutrition is acidic in the body, so it is called acidic constitution, and acidic constitution is the root of all diseases. These things we eat not only provide energy and calories, but also produce a lot of acidic substances. If they accumulate in our body, they will deposit in the liver to form fatty liver, which will affect our insulin activity.
The basic view of acidic constitution: the pH value of human body fluids is in a weak alkaline state of 7.35 ~ 7.45, but due to the influence of living habits and environment, most people's body fluids are below 7.35, and their bodies are in a sub-health state between health and disease. These people are acidic.
Acid constitution is easy to get cancer: tell you the most fundamental cause of cancer-cancer likes acid constitution. If the body fluid is acidic, it will lead to cancer.
Obesity VS acidic constitution: Most people who are prone to obesity are characterized by acidic constitution in their bodies.
80% of the urban population is acidic: most people in China who advocate food culture pay attention to food, and the first thing to live a good life is to eat well, but we ignore the reasonable diet structure while enjoying a good life, and some delicious foods have quietly changed the PH value of our bodies.
Acidic constitution is the "source of all diseases": when acid accumulates continuously in the body, quantitative change causes qualitative change, and diseases will occur. According to statistics, 85% of patients with gout, hypertension, cancer and hyperlipidemia belong to acidic constitution.
Don't be confused by the term "acidic constitution"
There has never been an acidic constitution in medicine.
An important theory of acidic constitution is that the pH value in body fluids is preferably alkaline, which is the healthiest state. Once acidic, it will lead to various diseases, from feeling tired to cancer. In short, all the diseases you can think of are due to the acidity of body fluids.
Before uncovering the fallacy of acidic constitution, we need to popularize basic medical knowledge. According to western medicine, the normal pH value of human blood should be 7.4, which can fluctuate between the lowest 7.35 and the highest 7.45. Once it is lower than 7.35, it will cause acidosis, and the symptoms are dizziness, lethargy, anxiety and even insanity. But if it is higher than 7.45, it will also cause alkalosis, not only muscle spasm, but also heart problems. Whether it is acidosis or alkalosis, once you can't see a doctor in time, your life will be in danger.
There is a buffering mechanism about the pH of body fluids or blood in human body, which can keep the pH value in blood at a constant value. This buffering mechanism has three links: carbonic acid and bicarbonate, kidney and hemoglobin. These three buffering mechanisms, like filters and scales, automatically adjust the pH value in blood to keep it at a normal value. Because of these buffering mechanisms, no matter what food you eat, it will not have any impact on your body. You know, the first obstacle of any food is the stomach, and then the intestine. Under such a buffering mechanism, any food is acidic in the stomach and alkaline in the intestine.
Based on this buffering mechanism, normal people cannot become acidic people. About the theory of acidic constitution, 90% of China people are acidic constitution. In that case, it can only show that people with acidic constitution are normal. Because no matter in medical clinic or in research, as long as a person's body is acidic, which is what we call acidosis in medicine, he will definitely die in a few days.
In clinical practice, there has never been any evidence that all cancer patients are acidic. In fact, some patients with advanced cancer do suffer from acidosis due to metabolic problems. The reporter found a detail in the interview, that is, these experts are reluctant to use the word acidic constitution, but instead use acidosis to replace this medical term.
Causing disease by acidic constitution is a concept of stealing.
In fact, the concept of acidic constitution still has an untenable logical problem, that is, acidic constitution is the source of all diseases. There are indeed many cases of acidosis in medical clinic. But it is not acidosis that causes disease, but because of taking some medicine or getting sick, acidosis will occur. Some common diseases, such as diarrhea, renal failure and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, do cause acidosis. But the causes of these diseases have nothing to do with acidosis.
It's healthy to be alkaline in the body, but it's actually just a wrong proposition for acidic constitutionalists to steal the concept. Take Liang Theory, known as China's earliest concept of acidic constitution, as an example. They stressed that the PH value of the body should always be 7.4. In fact, this is nonsense, because the pH value of normal people's blood is around 7.4. Moreover, not every part of the body is alkaline. There are several places in the human body that must be sour to be healthy. The first one is the stomach, which goes without saying that everyone will know more or less. If vomiting occurs, a lot of stomach acid will be excreted in the body, but it will cause mild alkalosis, which is the reason why you will feel dizzy after vomiting. The other is the skin. The pH value of healthy skin should be 5.5, and weakly acidic skin is less likely to breed bacteria. The ideal environment for a woman's vagina is also acidic. Once the pH value is greater than 4.5, it will cause inflammation. In addition, normal human urine is also acidic. An important function of the kidney is to excrete acidic substances in urine. If a person's urine is alkaline, it is unhealthy. If according to the theory of acidic constitution, a person's body fluid or blood pH is alkaline to be healthy, then it is logical that skin, stomach, vagina and urine should also be alkaline.
The theory of acidic constitution is like a lie full of loopholes. A lie needs another bigger lie to fill the hole. In fact, they are also trying to fill this loophole. Although they can't prove that they have published any new research results and papers in medical journals recognized by the world medical community, they also point out an example, that is, Otto Heinrich Warburg, the Nobel Prize winner in medicine, supports the acid theory. People with acidic constitution said that the Nobel Prize winner in medicine mentioned that the body is acidic under hypoxia, which is the root of cancer. As it turns out, in all the works published by this German biochemist, there is no research on acidic constitution or acidosis. Liang, who claimed to be the first person to put forward acidic constitution, revealed in an interview that he put forward this concept at 200 1. I don't know how nutritionists in China, who strongly advocate the pathogenic theory of acidic constitution, have successfully conducted a soul dialogue through time and space and life and death. As for Ryan, the American Nobel Prize winner they mentioned, Professor Zhang Jian, who has been immersed in the American medical field for more than ten years, has no impression at all, let alone using Google or Baidu search.
The main theory of acidic constitution theory is to change the body from acidic to alkaline by supplementing alkaline nutrients or making food choices. Aside from the fact that food can't affect the acidity and alkalinity of the body, if you really want to make your body alkaline, you don't have to drink mineral water with suspicious ingredients or alkaline supplements with no idea how much technology there is. According to Professor Wang Tao's clinical practice, his first choice is to prescribe baking soda, the cheapest alkaline supplement for acidosis patients. This kind of alkaline supplement, which does not cost a few dollars in a big bag, is the most effective against all kinds of acidosis.
Whether the acidic physique theorists emphasize that alkaline physique is the healthiest in order to promote their alkaline supplements, or kindly remind modern people with unbalanced diet to eat more vegetables and less meat, we should regard it as an alarm clock to remember to eat apples, and never take it to heart. Every day, I am led by various dieticians who have no scientific basis. Good people should be turned into patients. I am really afraid that I am acidic and become a patient. Drinking soda every day and going to the hospital regularly are the best policies.
Paradox of acid constitution theory
Limitations of food
Ordinary food will never change the ph value of blood or lymph, unless a large amount of acid or alkali is ingested at one time, it will change the pH value of blood or body fluid. Vinegar is an absolutely acidic food. Once consumed in large quantities, it will also cause acidosis.
How does acid and alkali affect?
In addition to the interference of drugs or diseases, there are two other factors that can cause acid-base changes in normal people: respiration and metabolism. Slow breathing or no breathing will increase carbon dioxide in the body, thus lowering the pH value of blood and causing acidosis. Patients with bronchitis and asthma are prone to acidosis. Breathing too often or taking too many deep breaths, the carbon dioxide in the body decreases and the pH value increases, causing alkalosis, cirrhosis or people taking aspirin are prone to alkalosis. People with metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, renal insufficiency, diarrhea or taking diuretics, are prone to acidosis, while people with severe vomiting or imbalance of kidney control acid and base are prone to alkalosis.
There are no clinical trials.
So far, there is no medicine in the world that can cure all diseases. Liang, who advocates the theory of acidic constitution, focuses on the product "the sixth element", ranging from treating migraine to inhibiting cancer. Drugs with such magical effects have not entered clinical trials in major hospitals in China, and there is no clinical trial report.
Reverse causality
It is not the acidic constitution that causes the disease, but taking a certain medicine or suffering from a certain disease will lead to acidosis. Whether vomiting, diarrhea, diabetes or advanced cancer, acidosis is caused by metabolic problems. If the blood pH value is lower than 7.35, acidosis will soon be life-threatening if it is not treated.
