Original Note:
While the body's pH balance is crucial for overall health, the notion that making the body more alkaline can prevent or treat cancer is false. Cancer cells can adapt to & even thrive in acidic conditions. The focus should be on evidence-based cancer treatments and diet. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/jul/17/facebook-posts/viral-meme-cancer-and-acidity-connection-gets-lot-/ https://fullfact.org/online/acid-cancer-alkaline-diet/ https://mnoncology.com/resources/blog/acid-alkaline-balance-and-cancer-the-truth-behind-the-myth https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9364696/
