The mechanisms of oxidation are well understood, and have been so for many, many, many years.

Hope this keeps you in stiches. Facts being so funny and all.

And when you start to increase your Calcium levels in your body, this may cause this Excess Protein in the ammonium Isotope form to convert into the Nitrate Protein Isotope form which is Acidic and may be removed from the body easier!

Calcium has not major impact on Protein levels. “Excess Protein in the ammonium Isotope“ does not make sense, isotopes are elements with different atomic mass due to different number of Neutrons. There also no Nitrate protein isotope – proteins are made of chain of amino acids bonded by what is called the peptide bond ( -CO-NH ). A nitrate is a salt of nitric acid in the form of NO_3-, this is not acidic. It is the conjugate of an acid and is therefore a Base.


I will agree with you that Nitrogen is not an element in the normal sense of words which are normally used!
Nitrogen is and Element. In any sense of the word.

Now as to the second part when you say NH4 or NH3 do not turn into Nitrate in the body, just maybe you better reconsider this statement?
He was right so it would be a mistake if he reconsidered he'd be wrong. We are talking about biological systems and while it is possible to do this in a chemistry lab, with quite a bit of heat from a bunsen burner, and several hours in a reaction chamber. It is not possible to achieve within the body.



How this works is that Calcium may react with either and with the correct moisture and Temperature the Calcium may convert these into Calcium Nitrate, which just so happens to be of the Nitrate form!

Calcium cannot convert NH4 or NH3 into NO3, no matter what temperature or moisture you use.
This will not work in the body. Calcium (Ca++)will not react with Ammonium (NH4+), both have positive charges
Calcium (II) Nitrate has these warning against ingestion: Abdominal pain. Blue lips or fingernails. Blue skin. Confusion. Convulsions. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Unconsciousness.
This is one method of making calcium (II) nitrate
H3PO4 + HNO3 + Ca(NO3)2 + 4H2O –––––> H3PO4 + HNO3 + Ca(NO3)2.4H2O

Maybe you better learn how many different fertilizers are manufactured
Nitrogen is converted into Ammonia via the Harber Process, this requires about 450oC, and 200 atmosphere of pressure.

Now as to your 3rd "blunder", plants take nitrogen and make Protein out of the nitrogen, and "IF" this protein is completely complexed into a complex amino acid, then you may have a True Protein!

More meaningless babbling. Protein cannot be complexed into an amino acid. Amino acids are the componets of proteins.

But the Protein is still Nitrogen!
Proteins contain nitrogen as part of their structure, a nitrogen is not a protein.

Do you even know how labs test for Protein content?
The Bradford, Biuret or Lowry methods are the easiest and cheapest.

And "IF" the Protein is not complexed into a complete complexed amino acid, then this is "FUNNY PROTEIN" which is made up of partial amino acids and partial nitrogen which may be in either of the Isotope forms!

Meaningless!!!! But FUNNY
One more time. Amino acids are the components of proteins,
There is no such thing as a partial amino acid. And the same for a partial Nitrogen.
An isotope are two forms of the same atom with different Neutrons, the body has no way of changing the nuclear properties of atoms.

Which one of the isotope forms may be Alkaline forming and the other may be Acid forming in the body!

This is so far from reality, I won't even bother to correct.


“IF" you would have done the little experiments which I suggested for you to try in the Debate forum, then we would not be having this discussion,"IF" you were able to learn any "FACTS" about what takes place!

Here are the explanations to your little experiment:

NaHCO3 + HAc --------> Na+Ac- + H2O + CO2 + Heat

Here is a simple acid-base reaction

They will react, no matter what the quantities. And the Bicarb is more accurately described as a base not an Alkaline. This an Acid-Base Reaction. It can also be described as a Redox reaction. (Reduction-Oxidation). The Limiting reagent will determine how much of it reacts.

And there is heat released from the system, you have not paid attention but acid-base reactions are exothermic. That means they release heat, but not from combustion it has to do with other concepts like Enthalpy, Entropy and Gibbs Energy

A reaction does not have to be a combustion to generate heat. So this is not an oxidation experiment but an acid-base reaction.

So what exactly happens in this Acid-Base reaction.

The Acid reacts with the Base to form a salt (Sodium Acetate), but because this is happening in aquaeous solution it a more accurate description would be (Na+Ac-)(aq)
You are also forming Carbon Dioxide, which is the fizzing that you see. This is the same fizzing you see in common Pop drinks or Carbonated Water. Again no magic or Combustion involved.

Acids break down and react against Proteins and Fibers and Alkaline Minerals!

Fibre is a carbohydrate, the simple difference is that they are resistant to enzymes, so it should not be included with proteins. Short version of how the various components are digested.

Carbohydrates are broken down by various enzymes starting with amylase in saliva and continuing with
alpha-amylase, disaccharidases, 1,6-glucosidase in the small intestine.

Proteins – Stomach acid uncoils the proteins, once uncoled they can be attacked by Proteases to break them down

Fats – Bile salts to emulsify then Lipases to break them up.

All of these are absorbed in the intestine.
