Last year alone, exporters rejected almost half of the cocoa beans produced, because they were too small
with high acid levels.
The high acid levels commonly interfere with the activity of enzymes from the pancreas, resulting in diarrhea and fatty, smelly stools (steatorrhea).
Having
high acid levels and low base levels translates to less bone and muscle mass and that's something we want to avoid at all costs.
Research shows that
higher acid levels (lower pH level) lead to a lack of energy and higher incidences of infection.
The higher the acid level the more corrosive it is to the seals and solenoids in the ABS / VSC systems.
Fennel seed does not alter
the high acid levels or flora population that dogs require in their guts.
High acid levels can help to dissolve one of the two most common urinary stone types - struvite.
