Some myths about cancer are surprisingly persistent, despite flying in the face of biology. One such idea is that overly ‘acidic’ diets cause your blood to become ‘too acidic’, which can increase your risk of cancer. The proposed answer: increase your intake of healthier ‘alkaline’ foods like green vegetables and fruits (including, paradoxically, lemons). But there’s no good evidence to prove that diet can mani****te whole body pH, or that it has an impact on cancer.
