“Healthy whole grains” such as wheat are the cause for much of the acid-heavy nature of the modern diet. Beyond bone health, emerging experiences suggest that crafting a diet that favors alkaline foods has the potential to reduce age-related muscle wasting, kidney stones, salt-sensitive hypertension, infertility, and kidney disease. Remove wheat and experience reduced joint inflammation and fewer blood sugar “highs” that glycate cartilage, and shift the pH balance to alkaline. It sure beats taking Vioxx.
