Grains are typically believed to be acidifying, but the net effect of a food on body pH is very complicated. For example, since Nutrim can benefit blood sugar levels and aide in detoxification it may actually assist the body in achieving and maintaining proper pH. The unique properties of Nutrim as a viscous fiber give it the ability to have many beneficial properties in the body. Although some sources may say that oat bran is an acidifying food, I do not believe the net effect on pH can be so easily simplified.
