Ultimate pH Balance Promo

Question
I recently received an e-mail maintaining that many if not all the ailments of mankind can be traced to excess systemic acidity. The solution is a daily dosage of the subject product, designed by a Dr. Michael Cutler.
Please give me your opinion on the validity of taking a product that is designed to neutralize excess acidity in the body.  If that were as beneficial as this advertisement alleges, why not just take a daily dose of bicarbonate of soda?  Does low bodily pH really explain the non-availability of certain minerals that are essential for low cholesterol, low blood pressure, low PSA, etc. In other words, is an alkaline body healthier as a rule than an acidic one?

Thank you!

Answer
While there aren't enough scientific studies on the acid/alkaline body for mainstream medicine to accept it, the fact remains that acidity is an environment in which disease thrives.  As an example, cancer is well-known for prospering in low-oxygen, acidic conditions.  The level of acidity or alkalinity is measured through your urine pH.

Having said that, I am not inclined to recommend miracle supplements for something that can be handled by proper eating.  A diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is alkaline.  A diet high in red meats, fats, and sugars is acidic.  It's really that simple.

Thank you for your question, David.  I hope that my answer was helpful.
