Negative Positive
Title: Terrible...
Review: This book, assembled by a husband and wife team with no credentials _I_ can find in the book, is a load of poorly thought-out half-truths and some comments that border on irresponsibility. There's far too much to correct here, but a few gross misconceptions are the following: citrus fruits are not basic. They are acidic. Hence, citric and ascorbic acid. Finding "basic" or "acidic" foods is pretty pointless in the first place, as stomach juices are such strong acid it doesn't matter, and bases can harm as well (lye?). Also, protein does not leech calcium from bones. This is based on a study done in the 80's using protein _extracts_. They were, incidentally, reconstituted with milk - a calcium rich substance. This explains the increased urinary excretion.
Is the review positive or negative?
