They both are high in sugar and minerals so they’re both mildly acidic. When you compare red wine to white wine, they’re by and large the same when it comes to how acid-forming they are. So, because red wine has both minerals and sugar, it’s still acidic, but less so than other alcohols with high sugar content and few minerals. More Sugar = More Acid More Minerals = More Alkaline Once here, it makes your blood acidic, and then your body will leach minerals from your bones and muscles to neutralize all that acid, and it literally becomes a vicious cycle. Yeast (small white balls next to black arrows in LIVE BLOOD CELL sample) is a parasite and is the TRUE reason why you are craving sugar and carbs if you do. See the example below – the black lines point to all the yeast in this blood sample. In other words, your army guards are sleeping on the job, and they are allowing all the poisons and toxins in your gut (yeast, fungus, mold, mycotoxins, undigested food particles, etc) to get past the barricade and INTO your blood where they don’t belong.
If you have had antibiotics ONCE, you have wiped out your gut for 2 years, period! That’s leaky gut. Well, you may ask, “How did it get there?” THE GUT! The research reveals that 80% of the American population has leaky gut, but I’m here to tell you that number is flat our wrong.ġ00% of Americans have leaky gut, if my research is indicative of the greater population.įor example, in the last 200 LIVE blood samples, I found yeast in 100% of the blood samples we looked at. Red wine is high in minerals and antioxidants but also high in…SUGAR & YEAST!Īnd a little side note, IF you think yeast is not a problem for you, you need to think again. Look at the ingredients if you’re not sure what you’re buying and choose an option without added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives.īetter: Alcohol That’s Okay to Drink Rarely These days, there are lots of premixed alcoholic drinks sold right alongside straight alcohol without the added ingredients, so you’ll see premixed margaritas right next to the tequila. They have loads of sugar and other acidic ingredients and no nutrient value.Īnother thing you want to beware of is any alcohol with added sweeteners. Liqueurs are super-sweetened alcohol like Grand Marnier and Bailey’s for instance. Lastly, beer contains lot of simple carbohydrates with few to no minerals, adding onto the high acid load.Īlong the same lines, hard cider is highly acidic because like beer, it combines sugar (a lot of it), fermentation, and in many cases, added gluten. Sorry for the bad news beer lovers…I’m just the messenger.
However, even gluten free beer contains grains, and all grains WILL become contaminated with fungus, so the risk is higher that you ARE consuming more than just alcohol in your beverage! It’s true, and there’s even gluten free beer these days. Now you might be thinking, there are a lot of different types of beers. Grains are stored, and most defintoely will become contaminated with mold and fungal mycotoxins which are carcinogenic. If that weren’t bad enough, here’s the worst part. The wheat in particular makes beer acidic because it spikes insulin levels, causes massive leaky gut, and contains pro-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids. Why? It’s a unique combination of fermentation, yeast, sugars, and wheat, which contains gluten – all of which are acidic. So let’s get started with the worst beverages you can drink.īeer is the single most acidic alcohol there is. We could all use help with that over the winter months, right? Less acid means less of a hangover in the morning, more energy, and a decreased chance of getting sick within the next few days. So, it’s a good idea if you’re going to drink to try to minimize the acid (and fungal load as you will soon find out). I’m the first to skip out on a drink even if others around me are imbibing, but there are going to be times when you may want to celebrate and have a glass of wine or a cocktail. I’m certainly not going to encourage you to consume alcohol since it’s acidic. There are lots of parties, family events, and social gatherings.Īnd in many groups, that means there’s going to be a lot of drinking. This is especially important as we head into the holidays. And today, I’m going to let you in on the simple swaps you can make if you want to drink alcohol. You probably know that alcohol is acidic, but did you know that not all alcohol is created equal?
