Summary of Dr. Jonathan E. Aviv's The Acid Watcher Diet

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most common form of acid damage is gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, which has more than doubled since 1995. It is not always easy to diagnose, as it can only be seen in patients with throat-based symptoms. #2 Acid reflux is when gastric acid from the stomach goes the wrong way, or refluxes, up into the delicate tissues of the esophagus, causing a burning sensation at the bottom of the chest and rib cage.
These symptoms are the poster children of acid reflux, but they aren't the only symptoms related to acid damage. #3 The solution to your acid reflux is to change your diet, and learn how to use a different type of measurement than you're accustomed to in order to gauge whether a food or beverage is good or bad for you. This practice, which I call being an Acid Watcher, will help you take back control of your health by alleviating symptoms associated with acid reflux without requiring long-term reliance on over-the-counter or prescription medication. #4 dietary acid is in many of the most commonly consumed foods and drinks, even though you may not realize it.
It is in canned and jarred soups and vegetables, as well as all carbonated beverages.
