Please read...A few articles on stomach pH and vitamin C

These articles help explain the function of an acidic stomach in regulating the overall alkaline pH of the blood and how Vitamin C relates to this.

"In my article on digestion, you will find information about Hydrochloric acid and digestive health. Since stomach acid is a significant factor in maintaining pH balance, and is affected by stress, you will find that interesting too.

I find it terrible that some Doctors are still recommending Tums as a source of Calcium for their patients: Tums: it is a truly ironic recommendation, since Tums is designed to suppress stomach acid, and calcium is very poorly absorbed unless sufficient stomach acid is present. Sufficient HCL in the stomach, and a proper acid environment there, are also essential for keeping the body in proper pH balance. Lack of acid in the stomach often leads top too much acid in the body, which in turn leads to the withdrawal of minerals from the bones to correct and neutralize the problem....

...Contradictory as it may sound, while the body pH of most Americans is most frequently too acidic, their colons are usually too alkaline. This provides an ideal environment for the support of Candida yeasts, fungi and parasites, and is also conducive to the development of colon cancer. Any substance which is effective at acidifying the colon is very important for helping to correct these conditions, and HSOs produce Short Chain Fatty Acids, which not only provide the main reproductive fuel for the busy cells lining the colon, but also acidify it."

"Ascorbic Acid (Capsules, Tablets, Crystalline Powder - pH 2.1) - This was Dr. Pauling's preferred form of vitamin C. Its low (acidic) pH can actually be a boon to the digestion of middle agers and those beyond, whose production of digestive acid commonly wanes. Taken with meals (as it should be), ascorbic acid can actually improve the uptake and utilization of other crucial vitamins and minerals, like iron. The fine crystalline, easy-to-mix, highest solubility Type 'S' powder is ultra-pure, appropriate for supplemental as well as food preserving applications. Vitamin C in its simplest and most economical form."

"The data demonstrate that vitamin C levels in whole blood, plasma, and gastric juice and the gastric juice pH in Korean children are closely related to the severity of H. pylori infection and the histologic changes in the stomach. These data suggest that vitamin C may play a role in determining infection and progression, and vitamin C supplementation may be an important axis for the management of H. pylori infection in children."
