Fats and Oils help to Buffer the nerve endings in your body from the Acids, but at the same time they may Cause the body to become more Acidic, because they Require more "Oxygen" in order to Burn and this also means that the body "Must" have more Alkaline Minerals, which a shortage of Alkaline Minerals may allow the body to become more Acidic with the eating of more Fats and Oils !
So not everything may be as it may first seem to be !
And the Sodium is highly Alkalizing, so when the body has more Sodium, then it may utilize more Fats and Oils , because then the body may Hold more water because of the Sodium, to help cool the body from when the body Burns the Fats and Oils !
So it is still about the Acid Alkaline pH Balancing Principles !
