How do you feel about pineapples?

[Al B. Sure!]

Lancer:

if you want mango nectar juice, try to find a middle eastern store... the kind that sells hordes of pita bread, lentils, humas, etc. they sell mango juice there

[Q Classic]

pineapples are one of the better fruits.

How do you feel about pineapples?

I think we can now safely say that, in fact, EVERY possible topic for discussion has been covered here at Apolyton.

Pine"apple" (<--I get it) Juice + Orange Juice = Good Juice

Pineapple juice +OJ+Tequila+grenadie = Really Good Juice

The best pineapples are the Maui Golds... I ate a whole one last August and had the runs for days! Yet, I would do it all over agin....

Still, a pineapple doesn't beat a banana! Yet that's a berry!

Sorry folks, but as for my previous proouncement, I misunderstood a basic fact:

Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system.

from:

http://www.essense-of-life.com/info/foodchart.htm.

Now, pineapples are classified as a low acidic food, but their pH is porbably under 7.

source:http://www.fda.gov/ora/inspect_ref/i...lacfpt102.html

Figs, pears, and pineapples, or their juices, and any products with a finished equilibrium pH above 4.6 and a water activity greater than 0.85 are considered low-acid foods.

Is this ESL, or like... English 10 or some such? Please, please tell me it's the former.

Uh, check my loaction field.

GePap:

Human pH: 7.45 (slightly basic)
Stomach Acid: around 1-4
Small Intestine: around 8

The injectible (parental) drugs are generally around 6.

So it makes sense that a pH of 4.6 is considered weak.

I am no biologist, but I assume the Alkalinizing effect is do to the increase in pH of the stomach acid. However, it does seem odd that they would call it a low-acid food with alkalinizing effects.
