Hey look, a blog entry, with a disclaimer even!

IMPORTANT
It is essential to remember that none of the Energise for Life employees or directors are:

• a doctor
• a dietitian
• a medical professional
• a journalist
• a therapist

Only opinions based upon our own personal experiences or information detailed in medical/academic journals or other publications is cited. WE DO NOT OFFER MEDICAL ADVICE or prescribe any treatments. This refers to any form of conversation between Energise for Life and our customers.
For any health or medical issues - you should be talking to your doctor - not taking our advice.

Emphasis theirs. So they don't even have anyone qualified to read the papers.

Anyway, the study isn't about alkaline diets, and taking a study about one thing and using the data to try and draw conclusions about something completely different is seriously flawed methodology.

If I went back and found out all the guys in the study had mustaches should I then draw the conclusion that mustaches improve health?

Remember the claim here is that diet can impact blood pH and that as a result nutrients can be removed from the body, and there's nothing in this study that supports any of that.

Lot more of what, studies that are misappropriated to support an idea that someone just happens to be trying to make money from?

Which guys? The people that wrote the study, or the website with no one in the medical profession?

For the people that wrote the two studies you mentioned, how do you know that their paper hasn't been refuted or complimented? Did you check the citations?

As for the website promoting the alkaline diet, they aren't actually doing any research so there's nothing to disprove or compliment, it's just (so far) unsubstantiated claims.

"My" doctors? I didn't quote any doctors. And where the people in the links that have been posted work is readily available via search if you are interested, though again not sure what relevance that has.
