The pH range is 0 (strong acidic)- 7 (neutral) - 14 (strong base).
A pH above 14 doesn't exist. Viruses have RNA (ribonucleic acid), protein & lipids as their components. Acidity is measured by Isoelectric point pH (I) is the pH at which molecules have no net electric charge.1/n
...Since, most proteins and lipids are considered weakly acidic, the myth of using alkaline foods to counter the protein in the virus may have started. It's true that most proteins 'may' be structurally altered or unfolded in high alkaline/acidic pH. But, humans are mammals..2/n
...And mammals are not reptiles. We have good homeostatic capacity to regulate temperature and pH in our body. So it is very hard to make yourself 'too acidic' or 'too basic' with food. You can have more acid/base in your blood in a condition called acidosis or alkalosis...3/n
...This occurs during renal failure, lung, nervous system & metabolic syndromes (not with too much lemon & avocado). Acidosis/alkalosis -a dangerous condition, causes quick delirium&death.
So eat your lemons(pH ~3 acidic) & avocado (pH ~6) for health not for Coronavirus n/
Thanks geniuses who are trying to counter a simpler message here & confusing the audience. Do you think you are doing a favour by countering the pH limit arguements? It is understood that I am speaking in reference to a temperature range relative to the living humans. 🤦🏻‍♀️
