Because of the nature of the acids.  The vinegar and juices have light metals in
them, like potassium, calcium and so forth that alkalinize. That acidic portion 
is
an organic acid, and breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, so it has no 
effect
on the body's balance.

The acid in DW or CS would be carbonic acid, which also breaks down into water 
and
carbon dioxide, leaving water or water and silver behind.  There is no other 
solute
to cause alkalization.

You have to look at only the inorganic acids and bases to determine what the 
effect
will be on the body.
