Re: scalp health/dandruff

"...fungi love an alkaline environment."

I keep reading from some health advocates that fungi, bacteria, and parasites cannot survive in an alkaline environment; hence, the need to alkalize the body and eat alkaline foods. What's up with this alkaline hype?

But, our skin is acidic for a reason, right? That's why apple cider vinegar is helpful for dandruff because it is acidic. Our stomach is acidic for a reason, right? That's why betaine HCl can be helpful for digestion . Our urine is acidic for a reason, right? A more alkaline pH in the urine can make us more vulnerable to a urinary tract infection. That's why drinking cranberry juice can be helpful for UTI's because it acidifies the pH. Tweet
