Critique on equations of net endogenous acid production (NEAP) and indirect proof of constant organic acid excretion.

摘要

In their recent article, Strohle et al (1) address acid-base balance of diets in the light of historical hunter-gatherer lifestyles using formulas as developed by Kleinman and Lehmann (2) and as used by Sebastian et al (3), which have been under recent criticism, especially in regard to the organic acid component (4). Without referring to this criticism, the authors have made an effort to justify the formulas exactly on points criticized, but not in clear elucidation of the shortcomings of the formulas but a continued justification.
