Why do certain alternative health authors include milk in their list of Alkaline-forming foods?
A. Milk is an alkaline food, but is not alkaline-forming. Its acid-producing qualities are produced because Homo sapiens do not have the digestive enzymes necessary to digest milk after about 3 years of age. Pasteurized milk is even more acid-forming and harmful because its life-force and enzymes have been entirely destroyed. Pasteurized milk will kill a calf between 3 to 6 months of age. What do you suppose it does to humans?
