Grapefruit Seed Extract is Alkalizing
(from onlygooddreams.com)

Grapefruit seed extract is alkalizing.
Grapefruit seed extract helps alkalize the body. It is considered one of
the most alkaline forming foods and of all fruits it is the most
alkalizing. Alkalizing the body (raising pH) is one of the single most
important health regeneration benefits available.
Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment within the body. It is
claimed that cancer dies in a pH of 8.0. Countless other conditions are
caused by an acid environment within the body. These same conditions are
effectively treated by restoring the proper pH.
Grapefruit seed extracts pH is a low 2.0. Don't let this fool you as
acid foods have alkaline effects on the body. The problem comes when you
eat food that is acid forming such as meat, sugar and most grains. This
food creates and acid environment within the body.
Most degenerative diseases are associated with your body pH. Your body
pH is one of the most important aspects to consider when trying to
overcome a serious illness and to maintain good health. The list of
diseases caused from improper pH is a mile long. Cancer and most other
diseases cannot exist in an alkaline environment. The pH of the
non-deficient and healthy person is in the 7.5.

Hopefully eating one whole fresh grapefruit a day will do just as well.
I usually seem to swallow some of the tiny seeds too. LOL!
