    Acid Alkaline Diet

    Dr. Susan Brown studies the alkaline / acid balance in the body and how it relates to bone health.  She says that the body tries to maintain a slightly alkaline level.  The kidneys, lungs and to a lesser degree, skin all work to maintain this balance.

    Dr. Susan Brown studies the alkaline / acid balance in the body and how it relates to bone health. She says that the body tries to maintain a slightly alkaline level. The kidneys, lungs and to a lesser degree, skin all work to maintain this balance. If the chemistry cannot be balanced with those organs, the body will deplete the alkaline stores of muscles and bones, if necessary. She is the author of The Acid Alkaline Food Guide.
