For breakfast this morning, you had a small bowl of low fat yogurt topped with fresh blackberries and a glass of cranberry juice. When you mention this to one of your friends who is a nutrition buff, she notes that all the foods you ate for breakfast are quite acidic and this might create problems for your digestive system. Why might this be the case?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The presence of food in the stomach typically causes release of gastrin, but the low pH of your breakfast inhibits release of gastrin. The acidic food inhibits release of gastric juices.

People should know basic information about how acidic and alkaline substances interact with the body before deciding whether or not avoiding acidic foods is beneficial: Measuring the pH values of foods and beverages is how people determine their acidity or alkalinity. PH values can range from 0 to 14 based on distilled water, which has a PH of 7 or neutral. Other types of water with impurities or minerals may have a slightly different PH value.
