I am kind of confused now…have been trying to follow the alkaline/low acid diet and have read on several lists of alkaline/acidic foods that green bananas are highly acidic and that if you do eat bananas, they should be ripe (speckled). What to do?

Yes, Holland & Barrett do the Sugar Free Almond milk and if they don’t stock have any in stock, ask them to order it for you. The Uxbridge branch was ge-great, int at they ordered two boxes just for me!

I just read your article about green bananas, with recipe. Green bananas are not plantains…they are regular bananas, not ripened. Green bananas are eaten boiled and served hot with butter, or made into a soup. They are hard to get in regular grocery stores, but Caribbean stores will have them. Plantains are a related but different fruit. Which did you mean for your recipe??

Plantains can be cooked green or ripe. They are not eaten ripe, as bananas are. But sautéd sliced ripe plantains are very sweet and delicious, a traditional accompaniment to the Janmaican national dish, Ackee and Saltfish.

Banana helps absorb Calcuim for bones. Since Calcium deposits help create kidney stone, will eating more bananas cause kidney stone (I have had one 15 years ago).

Jeanie, it’s important to keep in mind that no single food is responsible for bone health. When I talk about a specific food, it’s just one of the many choices you can make. If you can’t eat bananas (or any other food or food group), don’t worry about it. There are tons of other foods to choose from, and you can still be successful on the Program!

What would be another food that would do about the same thing that Bananas do? I am allergic to bananas unless they are in ie banana bread.
thanks for all your help.

I found some information on this web-site:
http://grabemsnacks.com/what-is-a-plantain.html
But the question is not completely solved because they say that plantains must be cooked.
Perhaps Vivian can help?
