Answer 1

Yes. Most foods add hydrogen ion to our diet.

Many foods which contain protein tend to be high in sulfur containing amino acids.they get metabolized towards sulphuric acid. Most of the plant foods don’t contain high levels of sulfur-containing amino acids and are generally alkaline-forming. The alkaline forming plant foods help to neutralize the acid-forming protein foods. The potential acidity or alkinality of the food ingested depends on the minerals present in the food.on combustion certain foods leave an ash in which acid forming elements such as chloride, phosphorus sulfur predominates are present, they are called as acid forming foods. examples of such foods are certain cereals, meat and fish.sulfur present in the body gets oxidised to sulphuric acid in the body. Thus, Many foods contribute to acidity in diet.
