STRESS AND
ACIDITY
DR. SHRINIWAS
KASHALIKAR I am told by some nature cure experts and I read a report stating that beta cells of pancreas are unable to secrete insulin and the insulin receptors are damaged due to acidity. The blame is put on fast foods and white sugar, tea, coffee, aerated drinks and son. The questions that arises are “Is the higher acidity measured in diabetes mellitus?” “Are there any ill effects or symptoms of systemic acidity which is called acidosis in modern medicine; in case of diabetics?” “Do foods cause high acidity in the vicinity of cells without causing measurable change in the blood pH; as is seen in case of gastric acidity, which is not associated with acidosis?”
“Is the higher acidity in the vicinity of beta cells and/or other cells measured with documentation of corresponding damage?”
