When a food is ingested, digested, and absorbed, each part of that food will present itself to the kidneys as either an acid-forming compound or an alkaline-forming one.
It’s the kidneys’ job to adjust the pH to a constant level by changing either what they secrete, and/or how they filter things.
Foods are thus often measured with a potential renal acid load — or PRAL — score that describes the level of acid loads they present to the kidneys.
Most of the foods that contain exclusively protein tend to be high in sulfur-containing amino acids. These amino acids are metabolized toward sulfuric acid.
Most of the plant foods don’t contain high levels of sulfur-containing amino acids and are generally alkaline-forming. The alkaline forming plant foods help to neutralize the acid-forming protein foods.
Foods that contain primarily fat are typically more neutral.
Due to food processing and an increase in wealth (among other reasons), most diets tend to be acidic. This is due to the high intake of dairy foods, grains and meats. Generally, the intake of these acid-forming foods isn’t balanced with adequate vegetable and fruit intake (alkaline-forming foods).
