Explain dietary acid load. Is this the acid-alkaline conversation or a different topic?

Chris Kresser: Okay, so, Liz asked, “Explain dietary acid load. Is this the acid-alkaline conversation or a different topic?”

I don’t recall off the top of my head what that referred to in Week 2 [on] dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is important for short-chain fatty acid [SCFA] production like butyrate and some of the other SCFAs; that is probably what I was referring to in terms of dietary fiber and acids.
