                                Despite popular alkaline diet claims, the Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) score indicates that most dairy products are acid-forming in the body. However, this is a nuanced topic that requires understanding the difference between a food's inherent pH and its metabolic effect on the body's acid-base balance.
