Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

DISCLAMER!!!! this blog is intended for discussion and entertainment purposes only and not as recommendations about how to diagnose or treat illnesses.

The guy is also not giving his real name...
ANY link to this site is a joke.

Okay, Dr. Woo.

Do Dietitians and Other Health Care Professionals Recommend Alkaline Diets?

No. Studies of alkaline diet are limited to animal and test tube trials. There's no scientific evidence at this time that alkaline diets are beneficial to humans.
