This is what I have to put up with to see the bands I like. I'm not saying he should go back to the detox farm he got clean just long enough to be be released from, I'm just saying I can't see my car in the parking lot over his RV.
All of this hippie life affirmation crap aside, cancer cells have shown a tendency to be hindered inside alkaline environments. Hence the reason that people who show a tendency toward veganism (cutting things like milk, meat, eggs, anything else that could create their own cancer cells) have a tendency to be much healthier.
I was going to point out putting a heavy focus on ingesting green vegetables before I heard him start mentioning it.
Have you ever seen a fat vegan? Let me know if you find one.
The pH balance of the body is fairly tightly regulated to between 7.35-7.45. The effects of loading alkaline substances into the system are minimal at best. (http://www.brighamandwomens.org/healtheweightforwomen/special_top ics/intelihealth0506.aspx?subid=submenu10)
It's kind of the same reason that vitamin mega-dosing is questionable; Your body has certain levels that it likes to keep these things at, and it won't be fooled by your diet.
I'm not saying it's not good to get all your vitamins and eat your veggies.
It's just not a miracle, either.
fat vegans are all over the place, at least in Seattle. soda pop and empty carbs are two of the main things that fatten up American asses, and those are usually both fair game unless you're also gluten intolerant. just Google "junk food vegan."
Every one of those vegulons or whatever is either fat as fuck or looks like they're dying of anemia. As far as I can tell, there's no in-between. This is just one of the many traits they share in common with the Goth.
Also, their farts really do smell just horrible, horrible.
