The standard for classifying food acidity and alkalinity in nutrition is not based on the taste of the food, but on the acidity and alkalinity of the final metabolites decomposed by the food in the human body. All the final metabolites decomposed in the body If the product is acidic, it is called acidic food, and vice versa is called alkaline food.
Nutritionists believe that fish, meat, poultry, eggs, rice, flour, oil, sugar, etc. are all acidic foods; while vegetables, fruits, soy products, milk, etc. are all alkaline foods. Although vinegar is acidic, it does not produce acidic substances during human metabolism. Instead, it produces CO2 and H2O, so vinegar is also an alkaline food.
