Since my name is not Karen Kitchen I find the stress associated with preparation, juicing, and clean-up to be at such a high level, I think it must neutralize most of the good. And in my mom's kitchen there is no room for my juicer. So it is stuck away in the basement. If I had more money, those expensive dehydrated greens drinks would be a 2nd best - well wait, only if it followed the Eat Right 4 Your Type plan. Being a B blood type I'm in the 25% that needs a different food profile from the majority. Food is not a one size fits all, so just listen to your body.
Some people are actually too alkaline. So be careful out there. It is really not as simplistic as it sounds. Calcium supplements and milk are also very good at buffering out acid. I'm a proponent of getting raw milk from grass-fed cows/goats/etc. Regular grocery-store milk IS very akin to poison after pasteurization and homogenization [breaking up the cream into tiny toxic globules that stay mixed in the milk]. Raw cream from naturally raised animals is a true gift from the gods, rich in essential fat-soluble nutrients.
I think foods preserved by culturing are a real boon to our health and they are at close to zero consumption in the SAD diet. (standard american diet) It is said the refrigerator was the item causing the most detriment to human health.
