Acidic Foods

Yes, the posted information is confusing and mixed on the acidity/alkalinity of blueberries. All high antioxidant foods and richly-pigmented foods have compounds that are anti-inflammatory and frequently anti-cancer. I do not focus on pH, since each person has unique needs based on their genetics, their health situation and their external environment. Some need high protein (especially to repair from surgery & radiation), some need less. The body regulates the pH of the blood very carefully through many mechanisms. I would focus on foods which have specific anti-breast cancer activity (organic wherever possible): the cruciferous vegetables (raw or cooked), the garlic-onion family, green/white tea,pomegranates, flax seeds, most spices (especially tumeric, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, basil), omega 3-rich (low mercury/low pcb) fish & nuts/seeds, high fiber foods, low glycemic foods, fermented foods, mushrooms. Some foods are even more specifically targeted to Her2neu (olives/olive oil)or are aromatase-inhibiting (white button mushrooms), so a dietary plan can be constructed specifically for your unique situation rather than a one-size-fits-all.
