Which of the following is a +4 alkalizing food?

• A. Fast Food
• B. Candy
• C. Wheatgrass
• D. Soda

Answer: (C)

When foods are metabolized, they leave an ash residue that can be acid-forming or alkaline-forming. A +4 alkalizing food gives a strongly alkaline effect because it supplies minerals that help neutralize acids and support balanced body fluids.

Wheatgrass is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, along with plant compounds like chlorophyll. These minerals contribute to an alkaline ash, so wheatgrass is considered a strongly alkalizing option.

By contrast, fast food, candy, and soda tend to be acid-forming. They’re high in refined sugars, processed fats, and additives (like phosphoric or other acids) and provide fewer minerals to support alkaline residues. That’s why they don’t produce the same alkaline effect.

So the best choice for a +4 alkalizing food is wheatgrass.
