In chemistry, pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH from Wikipedia]
pH is a numeric value from 0 to 14 and beyond. 7 is neutral.
0 > 7 > 14
acid > neutral > base (alkaline)

Alkaline Diet
The claims are:
- excessive acidity in the body causes disease
- eating certain foods can re-balance the ph in the body
The counter-claims:
- No diet can affect the pH of any bodily system except the urine.
notes
acid: vinegar, kombucha,
alkaline: oil, baking soda
The burning of a food leaves an ash. It is this ash that remains in the body to make it acid or alkaline.
Citrus fruits are acidic, but burning them produces an alkaline ash. Therefore, counter-intuitively, eating a citrus fruit increases alkalinity.
