they claim lemon juice metabolize into mostly alkaline byproduct during digestion, but could be bs or exaggeration

Yeah, but it’s not digestion because obviously your body controls it’s own pH. It’s from the transition from alchemy to chemistry. If you burn things to ashes and then dissolve the ashes in water is the result acid or alkaline (I guess it could be neutral but it doesn’t seem like that’s an option to them). The only foods that are actually alkaline is eggs. And lutefisk and other things that you add lye or baking soda to.

I know one such person and can confirm they don’t have a basic understanding of chemistry. When I asked what would an alkaline diet consist of, I have been told a list of mostly acidic fruit and vegetables. And for some reason “refined” carbohydrates are evil.
