Marshall, So, are you saying that taking BS by itself does not lowers PH of blood but BS with Lemon Juice does?
or, that BS & Lemon juice lower PH more than BS by itself?

Baking soda is an inorganic base, and lemon juice is acid fromcitric acid an organic acid. When they react with each other you getsodium citrate, water and carbon dioxide. Sodium citrate is a salt,and when it gets to the stomach become sodium chloride, or common saltand citric acid. The citric acid which is made up of hydrogen, oxygen,and carbon gets digested and becomes neutral (the carbon in the endbecomes carbon dioxide, which is breathed out). Since the amount ofhydrochloric acid in the stomach has been reduced, this has an overallalkalizing effect on the body. Basically an inorganic base or acid willaffecct the body's pH, but an organic one will not, since the organicwill be nothing more than hydrogen, oxygen and carbon in variousproportions, that breaks down to water, and carbon dioxide which isbreathed out. Now there are some inorganic bases which also do notaffect the ph, such as ammonia, as the nitrogen gets released upondigestion, leaving nothing but water.If a base has a alkali metal in it, then it will alkalize the body, ifit does not, it won't. Thus anything made with lithium, sodium,potassium and calcium will alkalize. On the acid side anything withsulfur (sulfate), chlorine or phosphorous (phosphate) will acidify.Those that don't have these will end up doing nothing, such as ammonium,nitrate, carbonate, citrate, acetate.If you have one of each, they cancel, you have a salt which doesnothing, such as sodium chloride.
