Acid Forming Foods
All meats, fish and cheeses (except cottage cheese)
These should be cut down to a minimum. The goal to aim at is to have any one of these only once daily and to avoid large helpings at any time.
Eggs and Egg Products
No more than the equivalent of two or three eggs should be eaten weekly. Eggs are more easily assimilated when mixed with milk, as when scrambled.
Dried Beans, including Lentils, Dried Peas and Nuts
These could be alternated with flesh foods, cheese and eggs for protein and never used in large quantities at any one time.
All White Sugar and White Flour Products
These should be used only occasionally and then sparingly on special occasions.
Alcoholic Drinks
With the possible exception of good wines (not sherry) these should not be consumed daily and never in large amounts at a time.
Deep Fried Foods
Should never be eaten.
Strong Tea and Strong Coffee
If used several times a day these can be harmful, particularly to the kidneys and the liver. They are acid producing and are likely to increase the arthritic symptoms.
Other harmful substances are salt (except sea salt in moderation), pickles, most sauces.
