        I believe it was Your Health, Your Choice, by Ted Morter Jr that 
explained
why eating an acidic food like fruit will increase the alkalinity of the body.

        It has nothing to do with the original PH of the food. Most fruits &
vegetables make the body more alkaline; most dairy, grains & proteins, as
well as junk food, make the body more acidic.

        It has more to do with what 'ash' is left behind when the foods are
metabolized. Fruits & vegetables leave behind sodium, calcium, potassium &
magnesium, which are alkaline; the other's ash is sulfuric or phosphoric
acid.
