There are numerous talks about that right now; however, our bodies do exactly what you stated. The stomach acid makes all food acid in order to break it down and then released into the small intestine. It becomes alkaline so the small intestine is able to absorb the nutrients we need to live. The rest go into the large intestine, reabsorbed water and remaining we pass as waste. All the healthy foods we eat are acid and alkaline base which has nutrients in them our bodies need. A Vegan diet has the most alkaline based foods due to being mainly vegetables; however, there are fruits that are acidic which we need. Thank you for your
