[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 44780, member: 8110"] Oh dear! Who wasn't listening in GCSE science lessons? Different regions of the alimentary canal are "buffered" at individual pHs. Buffering keeps the pH very close to a set point. It takes a huge amount of anything to unset the point. The stomach is VERY acidic about pH 2. that's nearly battery acid. It's why vomit burns your throat and Bulimia dissolves your tooth enamel The first part of the small intestine is nearly neutral and the later part is alkaline. the different conditions in the different regions aid some digesive enzymes and disable others, so separate digestive processes take place in each region. With that kind of buffering going on, nothing you eat is going to make a lot of difference unless there's something seriously wrong. [/QUOTE]
