A post circulating online falsely claims the health benefits of alkaline foods citing Nobel laureate Otto Warburg, suggesting that diseases, including cancer, cannot exist in an alkaline environment and promoting ways to alkalize the body like drinking lemon water. However, the originator of the acid-alkaline theory and author Robert Oldham Young, sentenced for fraud in 2017, admitted to practicing medicine without a license and falsifying his credentials. The misinformation spreading for years in various forms around acid-alkaline body theories, this specific rumor is a misinterpretation and misrepresentation, mistakenly linking it to Otto Warburg's research. The post's claims are debunked, emphasizing the pH level stability of human blood and the lack of scientific evidence supporting the concept of alkalizing the body through diet or specific foods.
