	From the academic and health industry points of view, there are two major categories in food: Acidity and basicity. There is no relevance between the PH value and the acidic or basic modality of the food (sour tasting food might not be acidic food). It is determined by how food becomes acidic or basic after being digested, absorbed and metabolized. Foods that produce acidity are foods such as animal meat, entrails and seafood. Foods that produce base are foods such as vegetables, tea, wine and vinegar. Animal meat, entrails and seafood are the major acidic sources of the human body because they contain sulfonium (S), phosphorus (P) and chloronaphthalene (Cl), as for most vegetables, fruit, seaweed, beans and dairy product are sources of basic because they contain calcium (Ca), potassium (K), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg). Is vinegar alkalescence? Most people assume the major component of vinegar is acetic acid and the intake of vinegar will cause the blood to turn acidic which will be harmful to the human body. In fact, vinegar can eliminate acidic lactic acid and pyruvate (焦性葡萄酸) within the blood to maintain a normal alkalescence. Thus, vinegar is an alkalescence food.
