Having an acidic body will rob the bones of calcium because the human body has an idea pH...your body tries to regulate this pH...when we eat acidic foods, like sugary foods, SODA, etc...our bodies must buffer the pH by taking calcium from our bones & teeth to try to maintain this ideal pH throughout the body. Long term bad health habits cause the body to be constantly acidic, therefore...the body will be constantly using up calcium to try to repair the pH level.
