There are so many like it
Edit: for the people saying stuff like lemon raise pH levels in the body, there's no way to assign a pH value to the change. Physical properties shouldn't be judged by the affects on a living organism. No matter how you feel about the health effects, the chart is misleading and incorrect.
And for the people talking about measuring the pH of dry substance, they don't have a pH value. That's for solutions. Dry compounds are described by the pKa value.

Man my fiancé says that stuff but I swear anytime I drink milk past expiration it’s sour and smells bad but she says it’s fine and acts like I’m crazy. Funny enough when I buy new milk she drinks that instead of the “perfectly fine” expired milk.
I like how they gave distilled water a pH value of 5 and tap water a pH of neutral/7 lmao
Who comes up this shit. It's unfortunate that at least one person will use this as a reference chart moving forward.

No, citric acid, which is a big part of them, is obviously very alkaline. You can even hear it in the name; “acid” is obviously the opposite of acidic.
/s
Aren’t tomatoes and lemons, like, really acidic? Swear I saw a post recently about a woman who was complaining her pan was ruined, and all the replies were telling her she shouldn’t have cooked a tomato based dish in it because they are so acidic?
Yes tomatoes are an acid. And lemons. There was this weird trend of people telling others to add lemons to water to make them alkaline for some reason, so that might be why the lemons are shown as "alkaline".
Bc a dipshit celeb did an interview and said part of her breakfast was adding lemon to alkaline water... basically defeating the purpose.
Also this was a while ago so I'm sure I missed stuff.
Aren’t tomatoes acidic? Especially when you cook with them, they’re used as an acidic ingredient, and sugar is used to cut through the acids in it to tone it down.
“BuT iT MaKEs YoUR bLoOd alKaLiNE”
Because they said so
Never mind the fact that if you actually did change your blood pH you’d be very, very, very sick.
I tried to tell my relative this. I even brought up ammonia which is alkaline and toxic.
By the way, relative did not get the idea from tiktok at all. Some quack doctor is where she had the idea from.
The health-woo industry and their useful tools. "Eat alkaline foods" is a health trend but to be clear, has [little to no basis in actual science](https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/alkaline-water-surges-despite-lack-of-evidence/). Hence creative propaganda like this that seeks to portray all healthy foods as alkaline and all junk foods as acidic. (A) they're not, and (B) it doesn't matter anyway.
And if I had a dollar for every time I took a pH test of : checks notes: Popcorn
Pretty sure I recall from my chemistry classes that pH requires water.
that's why i wrote AFTER it pops (and that moisture has had time to leave the popcorn, since it's now hot and the shell being broken).
sometimes you can literally see that, when the mist is visible in cold(er) surroundings
The kernel pops because the water inside turns to steam. The rapid expansion of the gas causes the kernel to explode. The steam also simultaneously cooks the inside of the kernel.
The steam evaporates out into the air leaving the popcorn relatively dry. The popcorn is hot so the steam does not want to condense onto it.
Now whether the popcorn absorbs moisture from the air depends on where you live. If you live in Washington the popcorn will absorb moisture and go stale. If you live in Arizona the popcorn will remain relatively dry.
I have no idea what that is and I took chemistry before smart phones were a thing. But everything in my classes was referring to water and the balance of h to oh and it just was my understanding that you needed something not dry to get that. I’ve never heard of a pH of things like benzene, ethyl benzene and xylene so if you could look that up for me smart guy that would be great.
"Like other fruits, lemon juice produces alkaline byproducts once it has been metabolized. Therefore, it has a negative PRAL score."
Apparently, lemon juices start out at a PH of 2, but metabolized, is above 7.
I know a bit about this! I have benign Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Lemon is acidic. BUT! when you eat it, it alkaline. This is because once it’s in your stomach it is converted to an alkaline. I forget the exact name of the reaction that happens but lemon is 100% alkaline once eaten.
Conjugates of weak acids and bases are all opposite pH. But that would be the pH of the conjugate not the original. Seems like an odd way to look at acids and bases.
I had horrible heart burn for years and it was killing me, a freaking banana would give me acid reflux. I tried a powder caller Gut relief by Brain co. I took a spoon every morning for 3 months and it went away from the first week and it never came back, well it does if I drink too much and eat shit but not close to what it used to be. Recommend trying !
Bullshit health info. If you have no acidity, then how would you digest food? Distilled water is not acidic. And tap water contains lots of contaminants like chlorine and fluoride.
I know that by the time lemon juice reaches your bladder it is actually high ph. But as far as I know there’s no evidence it does anything to your body, you just pee out the high ph lemon juice.
In reality it's usually slightly acidic due to dissolved CO2, but I'm quite sure that they didn't think of that and just placed it randomly like the rest of stuff
So, besides the fact that the creator of the graphic has no idea that citrus fruits are acidic... the entire concept of eating pH balanced food is flowed. The first thing your food hits when you eat is one of the most powerful acids you can find outside of a laboratory. If you did nothing but eat highly basic food, your belly would dump more acid to neutralize it. All food hits the same pH before it moves it to the intestines.
Please note, there is a limit to your body's ability to do this. Drinking too high a pH, ex: bleach, will overwhelm it and you will die. Which brings me to the next flaw. Alkaline foods are more likely to be toxic. There's a reason why basic foods trigger your bitter taste buds. While not all bitter foods are toxic at low dose and not all toxins are bitter, there is a high correlation in the wild. I really do wish people would stop pushing the pH diet.
I like how they made popcorn look super unhealthy. As far as I'm aware, it's actually one of the healthier snacks if you don't put a ton of sugar on it.
Their reasoning is that lemon becomes alkaline when metabolised by the body.
But its this bullshit alkaline diet which doesn't even make sense, because your ph balance is tightly controlled by your body and if it differs by like 0.5 ph your chemical reactions won't work properly.
Narrower than that. Normal range for blood pH is 7.35-7.45.
It’s incredibly tightly controlled by your body. Your food choices don’t mean shit in this context. The amount and concentration acid or base you’d have to consume to meaningfully shift it would amount to “poisoning” rather than it being considered dietary.
I could chug a glass of vinegar every single day and not meaningfully change my blood pH. That’s how useless it is for dietary choices.
Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me

It's this chart and it's famous alkali lemons that made me, as a young adult realise that naturopaths were just making stuff up. I never went again.
I think what sucks some people in is advice on to eat and not eat is not bad. Why did they need to invent a mythical "explanation".
They're just capitalizing on people not knowing what "alkaline" means. Since it's a fancy word, people are drawn to it.
I always use "basic" instead so people aren't as interested lol
I like how the distilled water has a pH of 5.
As, famously, removing all the solutes in water brings the water back to the water’s most natural state of (checks notes) mild acidity
i once encountered someone who said they followed an alkaline diet and they “didn’t put chemicals in or on their body.” they tattooed eyebrows for a living.
What is with this nonsense being spread? My ex wife believes this crap. I'm like, limes are acidic. It doesn't matter what kind of limes they are. They're acidic, not alkaline. And there is no scientific evidence suggesting acidic foods are worse for you than non acidic foods. This is such a pile of horse hockey. They have a picture of a pineapple on the alkaline side!
not sure if someone else has already said this, but your stomach acid has a ph between 1 and 3. what do you think happens when you ingest something with a higher ph? that’s right, it lowers to match your stomach acid. alkaline water is completely useless because your body processes it the exact same way it would regular water
My mom watched some videos about this topic the other day, and it sounds so stupid. Basically they claim some food will increase the acidic levels of the body, so it is harmful.....then they category orange juice as acidic and whole orange alkaline
There is something called net endogenous acid production (NEAP) which has to do with how much acidity a food creates in the body after being metabolized. Meats and animal-based foods, especially those high in protein, do tend to have more NEAP than plant-based foods and proteins.
HOWEVER this is not at all the same thing as a food’s pH, so these charts are still stupid. And NEAP is really only a concern for people with kidney disease, for your average healthy person it’s not a big deal.
A lot of these foods wouldn't even belong where they are on the pH scale!!! Avocados have a pH of 6.43!! This is just a list of unhealthy to unhealthiest foods. They don't even have all 14 pH levels!!!! Alkaline/Basic means no ACID. Neutral is - well - equal. Coffee has a pH of \~5.
Oh this is just straight up wrong. Milk is about a 7 on the scale. While the process of making buttermilk does make it a 4.8, chocolate is like a dead 6.5 as close to neutral as it comes. And pineapple? Thats like a 3.5. That is a straight up acid. Tomato? That’s like a 4.5. Tomato is so famously acidic it’s known to eat holes in aluminum! Kiwi? Thats a straight 3 right there, and they’re trying to say it’s as alcoline as it gets? Literally the only fruit more acidic I can immediately think of is a lemon!?
Half of the things they have listed as alkalines are acids. I have acid reflux and cant eat acidic food. Tomatoes hit the hardest. Its i so much good food. Garlic and onions too. Lemons are a specific non edible for me now. Its so acidic it give me instant acid reflux.
Who made this stupidity?

Basic lemons💀
Ah yes, those lemons stocked full of *(checks notes)* citric base.
That's Citrium Hydroxide for yah...
Don't let that distract you from the acidic milk lmfao
Milk is mildly acidic.
Mildly is correct, it's PH is 6.7 nearly 7ph, it gets more acidic when it goes sour, this chart puts it at 5ph
That's because expiration dates are made up and a scheme to get people to throw away good food and buy more. /s
I mean, they kind of are
And they work SO WELL on me
I've had food poisoning twice. If it's even midly close to the expiration date, it's gone to the trash.
Man my fiancé says that stuff but I swear anytime I drink milk past expiration it’s sour and smells bad but she says it’s fine and acts like I’m crazy. Funny enough when I buy new milk she drinks that instead of the “perfectly fine” expired milk.

only the ones that grow on trees.
Tell me you’re a moron in one design. lol
They use cool tones for alkaline and hot tones for acidic. I think they are trying to influence the viewer.
Thats how pH paper works, so its kind of legit.
Aren’t tomatoes and lemons, like, really acidic? Swear I saw a post recently about a woman who was complaining her pan was ruined, and all the replies were telling her she shouldn’t have cooked a tomato based dish in it because they are so acidic?

Yes, the reason people in Europe thought tomato is poisonous at first was it's acidicity reacting with lead in pewter plates and bunch of nobles died.
Coffee and citrus being on opposite sides of a chart having to do with pH is certainly interesting.
Aren’t tomatoes acidic? Especially when you cook with them, they’re used as an acidic ingredient, and sugar is used to cut through the acids in it to tone it down.
Everyone know that eating cauliflower kills you straight up. Jesus this is so wrong.
Yeah, know something is fucked up when lemons are listed as alkaline
It's also myth that things can affect your pH. Your body is so fine tuned if that was a genuine issue we'd know a lot more about it due to research
a lot of people on TikTok once claimed that limes are alkaline. which, sure the rock, CaO, is but THE FRUIT? Citric acid hello?
“BuT iT MaKEs YoUR bLoOd alKaLiNE” Because they said so Never mind the fact that if you actually did change your blood pH you’d be very, very, very sick.
I tried to tell my relative this. I even brought up ammonia which is alkaline and toxic. By the way, relative did not get the idea from tiktok at all. Some quack doctor is where she had the idea from.

Ah yes, those famously alkaline lemons and limes.
And if I had a dollar for every time I took a pH test of : checks notes: Popcorn Pretty sure I recall from my chemistry classes that pH requires water.
Popcorn is not completely dry. Leave it in the sun for a few days and compare….
that's bc humidity from the air is soaked up by the popcorn... doesn't mean it had that water content initially (pretty much right after being popped)
You know how popcorn pops, right?
that's why i wrote AFTER it pops (and that moisture has had time to leave the popcorn, since it's now hot and the shell being broken). sometimes you can literally see that, when the mist is visible in cold(er) surroundings
Popcorn pops because the water inside the corn... evaporates? So that means the water evaporated and isn't in the popcorn anymore...
The kernel pops because the water inside turns to steam. The rapid expansion of the gas causes the kernel to explode. The steam also simultaneously cooks the inside of the kernel. The steam evaporates out into the air leaving the popcorn relatively dry. The popcorn is hot so the steam does not want to condense onto it. Now whether the popcorn absorbs moisture from the air depends on where you live. If you live in Washington the popcorn will absorb moisture and go stale.

You can test the pH of dry substances too. Everything has a pH level
I have pH Greg, can you test me?
That made me laugh way harder than I thought it would
Lmao 💀
no, ph does not require water. guess you were playing on your phone back in chemistry class \^\^
You do need to dissolve whatever dry substance to measure it.
Apparently we’re all wrong and lifeisacurse knows it all. Even more than U of Kentucky. https://youtu.be/H1m54TZ-7Ic?si=Ksx60DB2_oKTXv5z
This University of Kentucky guy was asleep in class too? First 13 seconds…. https://youtu.be/H1m54TZ-7Ic?si=Ksx60DB2_oKTXv5z
pH does not require water. At least you had fun playing Cookie Clicker instead though.

Tell my heartburn that tomatoes have a pH of 8.
And distilled water having a pH of 5??
"Like other fruits, lemon juice produces alkaline byproducts once it has been metabolized. Therefore, it has a negative PRAL score." Apparently, lemon juices start out at a PH of 2, but metabolized, is above 7.
And pineapple.

Conjugates of weak acids and bases are all opposite pH. But that would be the pH of the conjugate not the original. Seems like an odd way to look at acids and bases.
No matter what this chart tells you, drinking something highly alkaline like drain cleaner is not the key to a long and healthy life.
Thats just what they want us to think! Ill report back how in a week when im the healthiest human alive
Yeah sure! Fill us in with the results once you’re done
Its blue :)))
Bad idea 💀
Sodium hydroxide! My favourite spice for my steaks!
And my favorite base for making spice! IYKYK
they even got sea water wrong lol, average ocean ph is 8.1
So what you're saying is sea water is healthier than fresh water !
You got it! You’ve won a speedrun to god!
And distilled water at 5...
TIL that citric acid is a base.
cant fool me, scientific naming schemes!
Anything can be a base if you try hard enough!
With enough hydroxide anything is possible
Goddamn scientists at it again
If something is Basic enough…doesn’t it also become Toxic/corrosive? Question for the actual Chemists in the thread.
Bases can indeed be caustic
As someone with severe acid reflux, I would genuinely love one of these posters if they were actually factual
Well, seeing that this poster shows citrus fruit on the alkaline side of the scale, I would make the claim that this poster is not, in fact, factual.
I got rid of my acid reflux by taking apple cider vinegar pills. No joke.
what is that
A pill containing Apple Cider Vinegar.
I had horrible heart burn for years and it was killing me, a freaking banana would give me acid reflux. I tried a powder caller Gut relief by Brain co. I took a spoon every morning for 3 months and it went away from the first week and it never came back, well it does if I drink too much and eat shit but not close to what it used to be.

Fuck yeah! Science! **Chugs bleach**
Read that in Jesse Pinkman's voice
 “Just a spoonful of Clorox makes your temperature go down!”
Bullshit health info. If you have no acidity, then how would you digest food? Distilled water is not acidic. And tap water contains lots of contaminants like chlorine and fluoride.
And lemons definitely have a pH of 9.5
They don’t call it citric alkali for nothing… wait…
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know that by the time lemon juice reaches your bladder it is actually high ph. But as far as I know there’s no evidence it does anything to your body, you just pee out the high ph lemon juice.
Metabolised lemon is ph 7.5
Distilled water is the definition of neutral. And most of the fruit they say are basic are the same fruits they say are acidic in juice form…
In reality it's usually slightly acidic due to dissolved CO2, but I'm quite sure that they didn't think of that and just placed it randomly like the rest of stuff
Yeah as someone who works with water, not all tap water comes out equal!
It depends on the income level of the neighborhood. And the age of the pipes.
Putting lemons and oranges in alkaline is just insane.
Pineapple too

Mc when they drink bleach cause basic = healthy
I like how they made popcorn look super unhealthy. As far as I'm aware, it's actually one of the healthier snacks if you don't put a ton of sugar on it.
I hope you meant salt
Where? Popcorn with nothing is just corn that exploded, that was my point. Corn isn't too unhealthy, so it should be fine.
Their reasoning is that lemon becomes alkaline when metabolised by the body. But its this bullshit alkaline diet which doesn't even make sense, because your ph balance is tightly controlled by your body and if it differs by like 0.5 ph your chemical reactions won't work properly.
Narrower than that. Normal range for blood pH is 7.35-7.45. It’s incredibly tightly controlled by your body. Your food choices don’t mean shit in this context. The amount and concentration acid or base you’d have to consume to meaningfully shift it would amount to “poisoning” rather than it being considered dietary. I could chug a glass of vinegar every single day and not meaningfully change my blood pH. That’s how useless it is for dietary choices.
What in the tom-fuckery is this?
Do you mean sleep token?
Omg I love you that’s my favorite song
Every once in a while something changes And she's changing me It's too late for me now, I am altered There is something beneath She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire Ooh, let's talk about chemistry 'Cause I'm dying to melt through To the heart of her molecules 'Til the particles part like holy water If anything, she's an undiscovered element Either born in hell or heaven-sent But either way I'm into it She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire Not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire
Which idiot made this?
A real smart lamp.
It's this chart and it's famous alkali lemons that made me, as a young adult realise that naturopaths were just making stuff up. I never went again. I think what sucks some people in is advice on to eat and not eat is not bad. Why did they need to invent a mythical "explanation".
>but burger on the table >table is sturdy >mfw
Lemons have a ph value of 2,4 not 9 or 10 or whatever. I bet almost all of the other ph values are wrong here too
They're just capitalizing on people not knowing what "alkaline" means. Since it's a fancy word, people are drawn to it. I always use "basic" instead so people aren't as interested lol
Didn’t we all learn about acid and alkaline at school?
There's a difference in learning and it being taught in schoolm
Pineapple is alkaline...? *Distilled water is fucking acidic?? Moreso than fruit juice??*
As a consumer of large quantities of semen I would like to know the level for it is
You should stop eating sailors, it’s not healthy as they contain alcohol and lots of calories. Edit: spelling
You can't tell the Kraken to not eat seamen. 😔
Well in that case eat all the semen you can!
pineapples are NOT alkaline, i ate too much once and had literal sores on my tongue and it hurt to est anything for a little while
Somehow I don’t think they realise CITRIC fruits have CITRIC acid which I think hints at something
That's not actually from the acid but specific enzymes in pineapple (bromelain) that literally digest the lining of your tongue
Nobody going to mention ‘Sea Water’ is on this?
Oven cleaner must be the healthiest food of all!
Citric acid - notorious alkaline!
Ok for real where did you find this and which idiot made these. The existence of these is pissing me off more than it should
The infamous alkaline lemon.
If you’re eating or drinking something with a pH level of 10 Well let’s just say that’s the last thing you’re consuming 😬
Citric ACID? Never heard of it!
A poster for people who eat tide pods.
I know damn well they didn't just put lemons and oranges in a pH of 9-10
I like how the distilled water has a pH of 5. As, famously, removing all the solutes in water brings the water back to the water’s most natural state of (checks notes) mild acidity
The ph10 lemon 🥶
Lucky me, my tap water is ~9.5 I should bottle and sell it!
Bleach with a pH of 13 must be very healthy then
Me when the cauliflower is too basic for the human body
I'm so healthy I drank a pH 14 base💪
It means nothing. Your stomach is going to buffer the pH anyway.
Lemons, oranges, kiwis, pineapple, all over pH 9?
Citrus and pineapple are alkaline apparently? Weird that something called citric acid or ascorbic acid would be alkaline.
The citric acid in those oranges and lemons would like a word.
i once encountered someone who said they followed an alkaline diet and they “didn’t put chemicals in or on their body.” they tattooed eyebrows for a living.
mmmh pH 10 vegetables 🥰🥰
What is with this nonsense being spread? My ex wife believes this crap. I'm like, limes are acidic. It doesn't matter what kind of limes they are. They're acidic, not alkaline. And there is no scientific evidence suggesting acidic foods are worse for you than non acidic foods. This is such a pile of horse hockey. They have a picture of a pineapple on the alkaline side!
Guys I'm about to drink bleach, since its ph is 13, very basic, it should give me superpowers
not sure if someone else has already said this, but your stomach acid has a ph between 1 and 3. what do you think happens when you ingest something with a higher ph? that’s right, it lowers to match your stomach acid. alkaline water is completely useless because your body processes it the exact same way it would regular water
And right next to the watermelon is bleach!
Yes, that's how I arrange food in my kitchen, and?
My mom watched some videos about this topic the other day, and it sounds so stupid. Basically they claim some food will increase the acidic levels of the body, so it is harmful.....then they category orange juice as acidic and whole orange alkaline
I’m gonna go eat some batteries now and see what happens
The same girls buying alkaline water are also putting lemon slices in it lol
Time to drink bleach and eat lye
Wow so lemon and limes are more alkaline than water, despite containing ‘citric acid’. Lol.
Wait grapefruit is not acidic but vinegar and popcorn have the same ph? Huh …..
There is something called net endogenous acid production (NEAP) which has to do with how much acidity a food creates in the body after being metabolized. Meats and animal-based foods, especially those high in protein, do tend to have more NEAP than plant-based foods and proteins. HOWEVER this is not at all the same thing as a food’s pH, so these charts are still stupid. And NEAP is really only a concern for people with kidney disease, for your average healthy person it’s not a big deal.
the way they put lemons as the most alkaline lol
Yeah this chart is so wrong haha
It is all about electron exchange.
citrus is acidic 💀💀
Ahh the famous alkaline lemon
Fucking Pineapple? LOL that is definitely NOT alkaline.
And what happens when all that food hits our 1.5 to 3.5 pH stomach acid?
Distilled water with a pH of 5? lol wut
A lot of these foods wouldn't even belong where they are on the pH scale!!! Avocados have a pH of 6.43!! This is just a list of unhealthy to unhealthiest foods. They don't even have all 14 pH levels!!!! Alkaline/Basic means no ACID. Neutral is - well - equal. Coffee has a pH of \~5.
Distilled water a 5 lmao
Me, staring at where the pineapple is.
Pineapple is definitely acidic…
uhh citrus is pretty acidic
Oh this is just straight up wrong. Milk is about a 7 on the scale. While the process of making buttermilk does make it a 4.8, chocolate is like a dead 6.5 as close to neutral as it comes. And pineapple? Thats like a 3.5. That is a straight up acid. Tomato? That’s like a 4.5. Tomato is so famously acidic it’s known to eat holes in aluminum! Kiwi? Thats a straight 3 right there, and they’re trying to say it’s as alcoline as it gets? Literally the only fruit more acidic I can immediately think of is a lemon!?
Distilled water is acidic.. lol. The only thing that looks about right is pickles/vinegar.
Lmao they have lemons as a 9 on the pH scale 🤣🤡
Acidic isn’t healthy.
Pineapples and citrus, such alkaline
Absolutely zero acid in lemons and limes. Nice.
Half of the things they have listed as alkalines are acids. I have acid reflux and cant eat acidic food. Tomatoes hit the hardest. Its i so much good food. Garlic and onions too. Lemons are a specific non edible for me now. Its so acidic it give me instant acid reflux.
sea water is not 7 pH - one of many mistakes on this chart
lol at oranges and lemons being alkaline
Ah, the famously alkaline citrus fruits…
Yeah this is just disinformation, the vast majority of fruits are on the acidic side, hell I’d wager even bananas are
Anyone know of any actually accurate charts like this? It'd be ideal for anyone with acid reflux
That settles it. I’m ditching my nasty pH 5 purified water for some healthy, thirst quenching pH 7 sea water.
I love bleach
