Dr. Oz: Alkaline Diet for Cancer Treatment

Doctor Oz was asked by Joanna, a woman in his audience, if an Alkaline Diet helps prevent cancer.

Dr. Oz said that if he had cancer, he would try an alkaline diet.  However, there is no proof that it works.  What an Alkaline Diet does is that it takes your pH level and makes it a bit more basic (and less acidic), which has been shown to slow down the growth of cancer cells in animals… but nothing has been proven in humans or adults yet.
