[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 802407, member: 12607"] Mammalian systems are designed to operate over a very narrow pH range. Normal blood/tissue pH is 7.4; since 7.0 is considered neutral, I guess you could say that yes, blood is 'alkaline' - but all the enzyme systems and electrolyte balances - including calcium - are designed to function optimally at pH 7.4, and there are multiple intricate buffering systems which serve to keep that normal pH from swinging up or down. A quarter-cup(2 oz.) of apple cider vinegar(5% acetic acid) given to a cow, will have absolutely no effect whatsoever - any acid will quickly be neutralized by the buffering action of bicarbonate which is naturally present in the cow's(and human) saliva. This guy's claims of 30% increase in rate of gain and elimination of mastitis are pure and unadulterated BULLSH!T!!! I'm guessing they could also run faster and jump higher?!? He's preying on gullible goobs, or didn't really pay much attention in his chemistry and physiology courses. Again, a little bit of vinegar won't hurt you - but the outlandish claims are not to be believed. [/QUOTE]
