Alkaline Soups, Sauces, and Gravies Spreadsheet

Before Keith Taylor's Foodary explained what alkaline soups, sauces, and gravies products are, the world was confused about alkaline soups and broths.

At the time, most nutritionists dismissed anything to do with Alkaline Diets. Because too many snake oil salesmen were manipulating bad science to sell bad alkaline diet products. But Keith saw through the misinformation from people who thought burning food and measuring ash pH was a good idea.

He followed up on real science. Which measures true alkalinity by testing the pH of urine after food has been consumed. Because there is a scientifically proven method for estimating that true alkalinity at the kidneys. So we have a proven method for measuring alkalinity of soups, sauces, and gravies when planning meals and eating patterns.

That method is Potential Renal Acid Load - PRAL for short.

This spreadsheet is one of many in my SR-Legacy PRAL series.

At version 3, I introduced paid and free sample versions of each SR Legacy PRAL spreadsheet. Rather than downloading individual sample spreadsheets, you can subscribe to the Foodary Nexus Newsletter. Because I add all sample spreadsheets in this series to the subscriber resources. If you're a subscriber, look in the Sheets SRL folder. If not, please subscribe now…

Similarly, I'm adding all full versions of the spreadsheets to the Foodary Members library. However, I'm still finalizing the pre-launch phase of the paid membership scheme. So I'll link to it here when I'm ready to promote it. But if you can find the signup page, you'll also find a terrific pre-launch bargain price.

PRAL Spreadsheet Uses

For nutritionists, PRAL has fantastic potential (pun intended). Because they can use PRAL soups, sauces, and gravies lists to:

1. Assess the acid load of current soups, sauces, and gravies consumption.
2. Plan meals and recipes with lower acid load. By selecting soups, sauces, and gravies with lower PRAL values.

So nutritionists around the world consult Keith's PRAL lists. Because lower PRAL is associated with disease reduction and improved wellbeing. As explained in detail at Foodary.com. But without that detail, all you need to know is that PRAL is related to, but different from pH.

If you're serious about alkalizing your body, you know that you must measure urine pH. And your professional health advisers will help you set a target.

If your dietary advisers are truly professional, they will confirm that pH of food has nothing to do with pH of urine after you've consumed it. But you can expect urine pH to rise if you choose foods with lower PRAL values. So for foods in the soups, sauces, and gravies category, you need the Foodary Acid-Alkaline Soups, Sauces, and Gravies List.

That list contains PRAL values for soups, sauces, and gravies in the USDA database. From which Keith created the first version of the Acid-Alkaline Soups, Sauces, and Gravies Chart. Subsequently, new government guidelines about dietary patterns prompted the chart to be reinvented in the ALKAscore project. But you can get the original data in this Alkaline Soups, Sauces, and Gravies Spreadsheet. Together with extra columns allowing you to sort the soup, sauce, and gravy PRAL scores by weight, energy, or the default alphabetic.

Note: you don't need spreadsheet experience because I provide you with any help you need. Also, you don't need Excel. Because the spreadsheet works perfectly with Google Sheets. And I'll help you with that if you want.

This product is an Excel spreadsheet of Acid/Alkaline Load values for Soups, Sauces, and Gravies. Including:

• Introductory notes explaining alkalinity, acid load, PRAL, pH.
• How to use PRAL value food lists.
• What to do next.
• Google Sheets compatibility notes.
• Unlimited email and online support.

You are free to adapt the spreadsheet in any way you like. And free to use the free sample. Or pay more if you want to encourage further development of healthy eating resources.
After purchase, you have lifetime access to the spreadsheet, including any upgrades.
