I am a dental hygienist. Our oral cavity is acidic because of the bacteria that resides in our mouth. The plaque bacteria produce a by-product of acid. If you are consuming at alkaline diet, their production will be less, but the acidity will still be present. The bacteria consume sugars & carbohydrates. I am not very educated on pH diets, but I assume you still consume complex carbs and fruits? These would feed the plaque bacteria resulting in the acidic environment. Another note, everyone has a different saliva make-up. Perhaps your saliva make-up was particularily acidic prior to diet change. Where you cavity-prone? Have a mouth full of fillings? This could be an indication of a very acidic oral cavity. Hope this helps! I'd imagine your questions have already been answered by now, but for anyone else wondering... -Amy, RDH Mary, I see this website and your question are from some time ago, but perhaps I can share a little knowledge about why your oral pH is acidic.

From the little that I understand so far, testing your saliva and urine are not accurate measures for determining our PH balance. In fact, several parts of our bodies, both inside and out, have different PH values and systems designed to maintain the PH to that vital part of the body. Our mouths for example are designed to be very acidic. In fact, our digestive system starts in the mouth. Our mouths have a system to maintain a specific acidity level and this is vital. I believe the important factor that we try to control with an alkaline diet is the PH of the blood. Mary,

The problem I'm having is when I check the ph level of my urine it is perfect but when I check my saliva it is always acidic no matter what time of day I check it. I don't check it immediately after eating so it doesn't pick up on what I have just eaten. Does anyone else have this problem.

Yes, the alkaline water does retain it's alkalinity when cooked or heated. A good book on alkalinity is The Water Puzzle which explains a lot about the structure of water and alkalinity. I also like Dr. Shinya's book The Enzyme Factor Diet which talks about alkaline foods and enzymes. I use 9.5ph water and have now for over a year. I no longer get colds, my back pain has gone and I feel healthier and more energetic. My switch to more alkaline foods included a decrease in processed and artificial foods which I believe helped accelerate the affects for me. Happy eating!

Lately, I heard that this can be acidic. I have read in some books that steel cut oats are acidic, but none give a solution. So I started to surf the internet for some info and found your info. Thanks! Question: Does the alkaline water retain its "alkalinity" after you cook it? How did you find out about adding alkaline water to Oat meal? What grade or PH level do you use? Any leads or references like book; citation. Leads would be very helpful. Thank you! G.
