This is not medical advice

Nothing on ElectricDiet.com is medical advice, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. It is general information published for education. It is not advice about you, and it cannot be — we do not know your health, your medications, your conditions or your circumstances.

Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before changing how you eat, and especially before doing so if you have kidney disease, diabetes, heart failure, an eating disorder, or are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medication. Restrictive diets can interact with medication and can be actively dangerous with some conditions.

If you have symptoms that worry you, see a doctor rather than a website. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

About the alkaline diet specifically

Readers deserve this stated plainly rather than buried. The core claim of the alkaline diet — that food changes your blood pH — is not supported by evidence. Blood pH is held within a narrow range by your kidneys and lungs regardless of diet. Urine pH does shift with food, but urine pH is not blood pH and does not indicate disease risk.

The diet does encourage vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes and water while discouraging ultra-processed food, excess alcohol and sugar. That is sound advice on its own terms, and it is the likeliest reason people feel better on it. Articles on this site answer the questions readers ask about the diet; that is not an endorsement of every claim made for it.

Advertising disclosure

ElectricDiet.com is owned and operated by Cloudalien Technologies LLC. Reading the site is free. Some links on this site may earn us a commission if you buy through them, and some may promote products from our own family of brands. When a page carries links like these, we say so. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon links on ElectricDiet.com are affiliate links tagged to our Amazon Associates account. No brand pays for coverage, and a commission never changes what we write or which recipes and foods we cover.

This site formerly sold supplements. Those pages and products are gone, and any older copy that described a product range or dosage no longer applies.

No results are promised

Individual results vary enormously and any outcome described in an article is that person's experience, not a typical result and not something you should expect.

Accuracy

Nutrition science moves, and an article accurate when written may be out of date now. Dates appear on every article. We correct what we get wrong: the contact page.
