One of the best things about the For Dummies books is their proclivity for extraneous information. I put this information in something called sidebars, which are the grayed-out boxes of text. You don’t have to read them if you don’t want to, and they won’t impact your diet success. Other scientific tidbits are marked with a Technical Stuff icon. Again, skip ‘em if you’re in a rush to get pH balanced.
