  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Summary

  1. 1.

    In tabulated form 2,100 determinations of the pH of over four hundred representative foods have been presented.

  2. 2.

    Data are given for what is termed “Acid Activity” and its use in evaluating pH results is shown.

  3. 3.

    The clinical value of food reaction is given brief comment.
