To Robert Cook (Bob in Houston-Springs, TX.) - and anyone else who's
interested:
What you say sounds logical, but is partially incorrect.
Yes, the urine needs to be acidic, but NO, and yes, OJ is acidic, but
orange juice is NOT acidic in the
body.
Citrus fruits/juices are some of the main things you eat/drink to make your
body (& urine)more ALKALINE. It sounds strange, but as the food is
metabolized by the body, it leaves an ALKALINE ash, and
consequently has an alkalizing affect on the body. This is true of
most fruits and vegetables. Cranberries are one of the few
exceptions.
Vitamin C, on the other hand, I believe, is usually acidic unless it's
buffered, because of the ascorbic acid in it. However, the acidity of
vitamins is one thing I'm still seeking to verify, and haven't been able to
find much on.
I, too, thought this sounded strange, and therefore it was one of the first
things I sought to verify when I started my degree in nutrition. My
prof explained that though it's acidic outside of the body, it's effect on the
body is alkalizing.

PS: ALKALINE foods are generally very good for the body, though, especially
when healing, because most people are over-acidic, and many think that
being over-acidic leads to disease. I agree, and feel that my eating
mostly alkaline foods, especially since the onset of my TM, has
contributed to my healing. (I may write more on this later if anyone
is interested.)
