Generation of Acids
As a consequence of metabolic reactions in the body, considerable quantities of acid (and somewhat smaller quantities of base) are constantly being produced. Acids are generated from the metabolism of sulphur containing amino acids (e.g. methionine and cystine) and cationic amino acids (arginine and lysine).
