Wai, is your diet alkaline? And do you place much stock in the theory that an alkaline diet is healthier than a more acid diet?

My diet is not based on the alkaline / acidity theory.
But, protein is acid-forming, and my diet is a low-protein diet. Also, i'm not advising acidic fruits as lemons. also, I'm warning people not to eat not completely / badly ripened fruits; they need to be fully ripened, and then they are not acid forming.

Not always, but to a certain extend, yes; if your diet is TOO acidic, it is bad (and more alkaline is better), but more alkaline is not better when the diet is not too acidic.
