Lemon acid or alkaline

Answer 1

Saliva pH (the measure of acidity vs alkaline) levels can vary, but some recommend eating such that your saliva is between 7.0 and 7.4 pH. Since we usually define "neutral" pH as 7.0, the above ideal level means your saliva should be neutral or slightly alkaline.

Dr. L. Scott Brooksby of Las Vegas, NV conducted a study of every patient that entered his prosthodontic practice during 2004. He found that 70% of the cavities in his practice occurred in patients that had a pH of 7.0 or less. He found that patients with a pH above 7.6 had much higher levels of tartar or calculus buildup on their teeth. He suggested that the ideal pH should be between 7.4 and 7.6.

The best time to measure your salivary pH is immediately upon rising- before putting anything (not even water) into your mouth. A low pH is the first sign that something is amiss, prior to an organ malfunctioning, prior to cancer, or just about any other disease being diagnosed. Think of your salivary pH as nature's way of giving you a non-painful warning so that you can do something about it while you still have time.

Answer 2

It is acid because it helps the digestion

But starch requires alkaline medium, protein requires acid. Also the teeth require saliva to be alkaline in order to buffer the enamel and cementine against decay. Should the saliva really be acid? What things might make it acid or alkaline? Is it caused by diet and lifestyle, or what is in the mouth at the moment?
