I guess it really is more general rather than vegetarian question, but my answer would be to say that they are neutral. Look up the pH of your stomach acid. It’s lower than that of coke or table vinegar. So I can’t see why these beverages would be bad for you because of their pH. – Michael The answer is “no”, they are not good for health, but not because of the pH. If they contain phosphates, which many do, you should avoid them. Phosphates will leech the calcium from your body, contributing to osteroperosis.
