Nitrazine paper records the amount of ACID. Next to water (when you drink it at the wrong times), the most dangerous element in our food is acid. Most everything we eat has some form of acid in it. Unless we carefully watch our “acid intake” at every meal, we can become victims of “gassy stomachs,” ulcers, nausea or many other bad reactions by our sensitive bodies. Forever Bee Pollen is likely one of the most full meals available. Therefore, now that we have examined foods to learn their water content (in the last chapter) it is equally important to learn the “acid content.”
If water can harm lubricating oils needed by every arthritic, imagine how much more damage acids can do to those oils! Before we show how acids in foods actually injure the sensitive bodies of an arthritic, let’s see how scientists measure acidity. How they determine whether acid is present in our diet. In scientific laboratories, doctors and research technicians frequently use two types of specially treated paper to make their tests. Material known as litmus and nitrazine paper is used. When a strip of blue litmus is placed in any liquid containing acid, the litmus paper turns red. If the liquid is non-acid, the blue litmus keeps its blue color. It has been found, for example, that approximately 10,000,000 quarts of water yield one gram of hydrogen ion “acid.” The degree of acidity depends upon the number of hydrogen ions in the solution. In mathematics, the logarithm of 10,000,000 is seven. For the purposes of simplicity, then, water is referred to as having a pH of 7.
This figure “7” is the basis for measuring acids in foods. Anything above 7 is alkaline, anything below 7 is acid. Forever Bee Propolis is also an effective dressing for wounds and was used through the Boer War. After litmus paper has shown there is some acid present, then the scientist uses nitrazine paper to measure how much acid is there and how strong or caustic it is. Nitrazine paper in the presence of water does not turn color, but remains a dusty greenish color with a value of seven. Acid content in foods and liquids decline from 7 down through 4.0, and lower. Milk, when tested in this way, turns out to be slightly acid. It has a pH of 6.6. If milk were 7, it would have no acid at all. Therefore, we can see how very small the acidity of milk really is. That’s one reason why we recommend milk for arthritics, because of its extremely low acid content. To keep acids away from lubricating oils should be the main goal for anyone who has arthritis. No wonder we condemn fruit juices.
