Can an overly-acidic diet make obese people feel lethargic?

Obese people are always over-acidic and have their favorite acid food or drink. Maybe coffee, maybe tea. Maybe alcohol. It may be chocolate. These are all acidic foods that make us fat. When metabolic and/or dietary acids are not properly eliminated from the body through the four channels of elimination, namely urination, perspiration, respiration, or defecation– then these acidic waste products are thrown out into the connective and fatty tissues. That’s where acid is stored– in your fatty tissues. Now for women, it acidic waste is stored in the hips or the thighs or the buttocks, or the breasts — God forbid, because if a woman is storing acid in her breasts, that leads to breast cancer. If you store acid in the brain, that leads to brain cancer. If a man stores acid in his prostate that causes prostate cancer. Bottom lin
