The kidneys clear or adjust the ph first pass/++, what is urine is not blood.
The ph of the blood adjusts very very very fast and for a reason, you die if it doesn't.
Otherwise we could use nitrogen strips to test for proten levels in the blood. (remember that gimmik from weider LOL)
You have to pull blood samples and in the case of ph a sample every minute over 1 hour to see the change. it is extremely small and is a sighn of kidney damage when it does show up. (with advanced athletes we now pull muscle biopsies to check these levels as well as blood test, urine samples are only used to see kidney function)
(support for you) NOW eating extreme on ph can effect the body as in stress the system, but we actully have found that low ph aka alkaline is worse as most protein foods come out undigested (it screws with the stomachs ability to digest proteins). the body handles a higher acidic environement better than low (in moderate cases, there are exceptions aka as you pointed out acid reflux indegestion). |
