Alkaline Foods. Alkaline foods should really be referred to as alkaline forming foods. Food is considered alkaline forming if food forms alkaline in the body's blood and urine. This does not mean that the food itself is alkaline: it may well be acidic. Orange juice for instance is highly acidic due to its high citrus acid content, but after being metabolized it will cause urine to become alkaline.
An acidic urine may increase your risk of developing uric acid kidney stones. A diet that increases your intake of foods that make the urine more alkaline, including citrus fruits, vegetables and dairy products, may help limit your risk of developing these stones. Acidity of the urine may also effect the development of oxalic and cystine stones, according to the dietitian website RD411.
