that isnt what i have been told, i may have wrote it badly in the previous comment, sorry. but my friends dad told me to make your diet more alkaline, he said eating acidic foods will make your ph level more acidic, while eating base foods (raw vegetables, some nuts and grains, and other uncooked or fresh foods) will make your diet more base or alkaline. he said cancer cells feed off sugars and thrive in an acidic environment, and that cancer cells starve in an alkaline environment. i hope this helps
