WOW...I was just thinking of this...was at a golf outing and noticed those that i suspect of being over acidic(beer-bellies, limps, etc etc) didn't tan very well from the sun, they more or less got a little red in areas and that's about it. Now when I was acidic I suspected I wasn't getting as tan as i was when I was younger, but now that I have shifted to more Alkaline --I possess a rich tan once again.-- Is this the way it is???
