You're shopping in the grocery store and pick up box of cake mix, read the nutrition label see there is a big zero (0 ) next to trans fats (this you can read even without the aid of your reading glasses which are sitting home on the counter). You toss the mix into your shopping cart and continue shopping.
Later in the week, you want to surprise the kids with cake. Armed with reading glasses, you briefly look to confirm that indeed there are no trans fats. (Yep, there's the big 0g in the trans fat column.) Now you peruse the ingredients before reading the preparation instructions and...lo and behold...the third ingredient in this cake mix is partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Wait a minute! That's trans fat!
The food that we eat burns with oxygen in our cells to produce energy. After burning, the ash becomes acid wastes and the cells dump them into the bloodstream. If you could get rid of 99.9% of the garbage in your home everyday, wouldn’t that .01% accumulate into lot of garbage over the years? The same analogy is true as our body tries its best to get rid of these wastes through urine, breath and perspiration.
pH is one of the most important things your need to learn about in terms of health or disease. In order for your body's cells to function at peak capacity, your body needs to ensure that its pH levels-especially your blood-are in a slightly alkaline state (that means with a pH of slightly more than 7).
