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.
Acidic Foods. Although at first glance it may seem easy to choose foods that are acidic, the truth is that it isn't the acid found in the food that causes production of acid in your body. This is why foods like meat, fish, hard cheeses, pumpkin and sunflower seeds are considered acidic foods. Additionally, corn oil, sources of natural and artificial sweetening, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, soy sauce and vinegar are acid-producing foods.
