2. In nutrition, food is generally divided into two categories: acidic food and alkaline food. The acidity and alkalinity of food has nothing to do with the pH value of the food itself (sour food is not necessarily acidic food), which is mainly defined by the fact that food is digested, absorbed and metabolized in the human body and eventually becomes acidic or alkaline.
3. Acidic foods that produce acidic substances are called acidic foods, such as animal viscera, muscles and plant seeds (grains). Alkaline substances are called alkaline foods, such as vegetables, fruits and beans, tea and so on.
In fact, the protein content in milk is only 3%, but the moisture content is as high as 87%. Every 250g of milk contains more than 250mg of calcium, rich in potassium and magnesium, vitamin D, lactose and essential amino acids for promoting calcium absorption. Unlike meat, milk is not an acidic food, but a weakly alkaline food.
