Although, some foods like tomatoes and lemons, high in acid, get metabolized as alkaline. And, by the way, most processed foods like ice cream make the body more acidic.

There are at least a few books that explain this. One is: "The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health" by Robert O. Young PhD.
It is puzzling, however, here is another mention that apple cider vinegar is an alkaline food......in fact it's in the "middle" range of alkaline,neither low nor high alkaline..........
