It is common knowledge that non-vegetarians suffer more than vegetarians from acidity. This chart also proves that point since you can see that all meats are acidic. From this chart, you will also begin to see why pure vegetarians too suffer from acidity and all the illnesses caused by acidity. Though vegetarians think that vegetables will keep them alkaline, what they fail to understand is that they counter the alkalinity of vegetables by firstly, using too many spices and secondly, by eating too much of acidifying grains, lentils and beans as part of their staple diet.

Vastly helpful information. Thank you. I have been interested in how to make my body less acidic. This makes it easy for me to control my diet to reduce acidity in my body. I am very grateful for your efforts.
Thank you Jack! Hope you are also reading my free e-book that is on the Home page.
I really love this! Thank you for sharing it on the Shift network to me. I have printed out the page and am going to eat alkalizing food now. This is such synchronicity…my naturopath just told me to do this also! I am so grateful. Peace in the body is essential! I am in deep appreciation for what you do. I am also going to download your book when I learn how.
Bless Bless, Laurie Sage
You’re most welcome Laurie! It is very easy to download, just click on the big book image on the ‘Home’ page of this website and wait for it to either download on your PC as a file, or for it to open as a new page in your browser. Then click on the Save button. Thank you for your blessings. Love, Darryl
Excellent Info! I am sharing this on my facebook page….ALOHA
Thank you Paige! And thank you for sharing :) Aloha!!
Thanks a lot Darryl for sharing such valuable knowledge
You’re most welcome Shahin!
This seems very interesting, will help me combat my acidity problem in a simple and efficient way.
Hi Dilip! I hope you have also downloaded my book on the homepage of this website and read it. There are several other aspects to acidity as explained in the book and Acupressure for the stomach, gall bladder and liver points will be most beneficial. You are most welcome to my 2-day workshop ‘The Natural Health Therapy’ in which I teach Acupressure.
Hi Darryl, Do we just skip all acidic fruits and veggies (non-veggies) and just eat the alkaline ones? Is it a good choice? Or do we have to balance it out, please explain.
Dear Kiran, For good health we should be eating 70% – 80% alkaline food and only 30% – 20% acidic food on a daily level. Please read my book on the homepage of this website to get a complete understanding of this.
Hello Darryl! First of all thank you for the important information you have shared with everyone. I have read your book till the acupressure section and I’m wondering about a few things. Is the alkalinity of fresh vegetables/fruits changing when you cook them (boil, steam, fry and so on)? And the other way around with acidic foods? I have heard that a chickens egg which is alkaline changes to acidic when you cook it. Another thing is that, what’s the difference in your acidic/alkaline food chart between “alkalizing”, “alkaline forming” and “alkaline” foods and same with “acidifying”, “acidic” foods? Thank you!
You’re most welcome Vanane! Yes, the alkalinity of fresh vegetables/fruits goes down by 15% to 25% when you cook them, with frying reducing the alkalinity by about 25% (depends on which oil you use). Acidic foods also become more acidic by about 15% after you cook them. The yoke of a chicken’s raw egg is acidic and the white is alkaline, but when you cook it, both become acidic. Alkalizing & Alkaline Forming are basically the same, which is the net effect their digestive mass has, after it has passed the duodenum into the intestines. Alkaline is the pH of a food that is measured before it is eaten. Most Alkaline Foods are Alkalizing in nature. The same reasoning goes for Acidifying & Acidic Foods. Regards, Darryl
I read your book and have been practicing your nutrition philosophy to the letter. The thing though is that I have lost a lot of weight, and have recently been contemplating doing some body building to gain some reasonable muscle and maintain good body outlook. Please advice me on what body building diet should constitute, or on an alternative way for me to gain reasonable muscle.
Hi Muzira, Thanks for writing in. Eat more of protein rich foods like grains, beans, peas, nuts, sprouts, legumes, lentils and vegetables. All the Best! Darryl
How come berries are on both side? My 1 years 4 months old child has an allergic reflux and structural reflux and had toxic clostridium difficile (now not toxic anymore but clostridium is still +++ = a lot of bacteria). Fruits cause allergic reflux and berries, because of their acidity cause structural reflux. At the moment we don’t have a single suitable fruit or berry for her.
The sweet berries on the right are acidic and the sour berries on left are alkaline. Your child is quite a sereve case and needs expert advice. I would suggest treatment of the stomach with acupressure or acupuncure to heal the reflux problem first. Then a gentle, but long drawn Liver Detox… not the 2 day intese one given in my book.
Hello Darryl, it was really good to understand each and every part of our body functions. This also make us aware of our food intake. We take our body for granted without knowing the consequences we go through when we fall sick. I will make this my routine to learn and adapt to the wonderfull information your book gives, and will pass on to goodness to my near and dear ones. Thank you for this wonderfull information. God Bless
You’re very welcome Jude. Thanks for sharing this fundamental education with others too. God Bless!
How come you put chestnuts in both columns?
Thanks for pointing out the error Wael. They are alkaline forming. I’ve corrected this in the chart. Regards, Darryl
Hi, is neem alkaline or acidic?

You’re most welcome Nilza

I just downloaded the book as am going through my own journey of health and digestive issues. Since you mentioned, we are all unique beings, I really want to connect with you to be able to find the answers I am looking for. I have 100 percent belief in mind body healing through natural therapy. With gratitude, thank you so much.

Kind Regards, Darryl
Thanks Darryl for sharing the food details. I show your video on Tedx and I am also suffering from several chronic illnesses. I was continuously searching a guide on alkaline foods as a last hope to recover. And I found you. Darryl, kindly help me to setup a similar example to others who are suffering from same trauma as me. Just like you did. Thanks for all the support.. Stay blessed.. !!

Hi Darryl, i would be interested to attend your seminar in Delhi. Please let me know.

This page says that all meats are acidic. However, where do insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms and superworms fit into the acidic/alkaline scale? I consider insects to be meat. Also, where gram grasses such as wheatgrass and barley grass fit into the scale? With wheatgrass, I’m talking about the phase of the plant before it harvested as wheat.
Insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms and superworms fall into the acidic scale. Raw grasses will fall in the mildly or moderately alkaline scale. Once the wheatgrass is dried up naturally and turns light brown in color, it becomes acidic.
