hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I’m going  to talk about the alkaline cancer protection myth  

the one that goes that you need to alkalize your  body to prevent cancer okay another one of those  

things that everyone knows but it really doesn’t  make sense and I’m going to explain why first the  

first question I always ask people is what part  of the body are you talking about that you need  

alkalis is it the stomach is it the large bowel  is the saliva it is that the urine is it the blood  

every single part of your body has a different  pH are they saying that you need to alkalize the  

entire body we need to bring it beyond the normal  level of pH that it should be so people really  

can’t answer that but cancer will also grow in  an alkaline medium now it is true that tumors do  

grow faster in an acid environment but tumors and  cancer make acid cancers not caused by an acidic  

environment it’s the cancer in tumors that are  causing the acidic environment that makes sense  

so you see the differentiation there there really  there’s no study that shows that if you alkalize  

the body you’re going to reduce the risk of cancer  that’s not how it works now there’s nothing wrong  

with consuming alkaline foods in fact it’s not  the alkalinity that’s doing the good things from  

vegetables it’s basically cruciferous vegetables  which are highly alkaline inhibit what’s called  

angiogenesis which is which is the development  of new blood vessels to tumors and cancer if you  

shut up their blood supply they won’t exist  anymore it just so happens those vegetables  

have the power to inhibit the new formation of  blood vessels to that new entity and also all  

the final nutrients in the vegetables are very  anti-cancer but it has nothing to do with the  

alkalinity okay so that makes sense all right well  thank you so much for watching Hey I thank you so
