Ive recently found that I had a slight case of acidosis. Manefesting in really sore knees, and im only 28! Diet being the main cause of this, I was stooped because I eat well. Come to find out the 8 or so cups of unsweetened black tea that I had been drinking everyday is acidic to the body. I have cut back drastically on my tea intake, and now when I drink tea its green or white. Within 3-4 days my knees felt fine and the pain hasnt been back in 6 mos. Ive also been drinking kukicha, because it is suppose to be very alkalizing to the body, so Ive been drinking this as well, anybody know if yerba mate or any other teas are alkalizing? Anybody else ever had a similar experience?
