Rumor: Acidification of constitution is the source of all diseases. Cancer, hypertension, diabetes, gout, etc. are all caused by acidification of constitution caused by eating too much [acidic food].
Truth: [Acid Constitution Theory] is a widely circulated pseudoscientific theory. Stop arranging recipes according to the acid and alkali table of food.
If you search [acidic constitution] on the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), you will find that there is not even an article in either keyword search or abstract search.

In other words, it is Mr. Wang’s illness that causes acidosis, not [acidic constitution can lead to disease].
Leaving aside the so-called [authoritative] theories, the pH value of human blood and body fluids is controlled by a set of dynamic and balanced metabolic mechanisms, which can keep the pH value in blood at a constant value (between 7.35 and 7.45).
