Re: pH (how long does it take

Well grz, I poke my head into the zone once in a while when I look for information about things I might be dealing with and sometimes stay for a few days before shaking my head and leaving again.  I know from reading many of your posts in the past that your are reliable and reputable so what I'm going to post is not a rip at your reply per se, but perhaps a reply to so much of what I see on this site.

I would never have made my response if this were a support group but because it's a debate thread I put my tongue in cheek and made that response.  I did that because many months ago independently from researching zone posts I read other scientific studies that basically says the more alkaline pH levels that some try to achieve are completely worthless and I tend to agree with that position.  You make statements to the effect that as the body attempts to make adjustments it has "costs" (I did not and will not read your entire post).  My question is - where does one find the scientific evidence to support this?  (As long as we are on the debate forum - in a support forum I'd never question it.)

I don't worry about pH balance, never thought of it.  I do adjust what I eat/drink based on how my urine tastes.  Have been drinking it for years.  Has provided me with many benefits, never lets me down, and once I adjusted to the taste my body actually make great tasting pee.  By the way, for many decades medical doctors determined who had "sugar" diabetes by tasting their patients urine so tasting it or drinking it has been a means of medical diagnosis for many years. 

I'll go back to the post you are responding to.  All the readings that the OP was getting were in the normal range.  So what is the point of even testing when we KNOW that a urine pH means nothing? 

Don't take it personally grz.
