Let’s face it–most of us are tempted by foods and beverages we know aren’t good for us, especially if they’re part of our daily diet and not just an occasional indulgence. You know the usual culinary culprits–fatty meats, processed dinners, sugary desserts, salty snacks and carbonated beverages.
Unfortunately, all of these foods–as well as such seemingly healthier staples as dairy products, animal protein and even low-sugar cereals–are responsible for generating acid-forming chemicals in our body that can over time lead to a troubling array of health issues such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, kidney stones, heartburn, chronic fatigue, joint pain and urinary infections.
