'Like an evangelical preacher on a wet Sunday in Merthyr Tydfil': Jeremy Paxman's extraordinary attack on fellow BBC journalist Huw Edwards. A bizarre feud appears to have broken out between two of the BBC's top talents after Jeremy Paxman mocked Huw Edwards for being 'like an evangelical preacher'.
Best Answer: From a strict intrinsic pH stand point, chocolate is an acid. All food is acidic, some is just less acidic or closer to neutral (pH 7) than others.
The pH for natural cocoa powder generally ranges from 5.0 to 5.8, so it's slightly acidic. And the pH for alkalized cocoa powder is 6.2 to 6.8, so it's even less acidic, practically neutral. And chocolate cake, for what it's worth, is 7.2 to 7.6. HOWEVER, that's not the only thing to go by. When food is burned/metabolized by the body, its pH can change internally. For example, oranges are very acidic foods when you eat them, but they become alkaline afterwards.
