Alkalizing Foods

I have read that an acid body is a magnet for sickness, disease, cancer and aging.
Of course the FDA says that's all bunk, but when I first read about this, I mentioned it to a Chemo nurse. We talked about the foods a bit and as she was leaving the room she said and I quote" Cancer can't live in an alkaline body."
That was a chemo nurse that deals with cancer and cancer treatment on a daily basis.
In case your interested here's partial list of alkaline foods. Of course you can find complete lists online, but just look how many foods listed here are what we now know ( Or at least doctors are now admitting) are actual aids in fighting cancer.
