Ok: I don't really know how to ask this but i'll try, please excuse the long explanation... I wear rings, and have been for awhile, and I was wondering if it is possible for certain people to have higher "body acid" levels (i don't know what they are called)? Im asking this because I've worn gold, platinum, and silver rings and they all get worn out really fast, (like, within a month they turn black-ish). I was told that I have a high PH level or something, which can eat away certain metals, and i've found that titanium is the only metal that won't get worn out.

Here's the question(s): First off, is the whole "body acid/PH level" thing true, and is there a way to lower the acid levels, like changing my diet a little? If not, are there any metals that are strong/acid resistant?

But skin has a pH of 5-6 leaving people slightly acidic

~I recommend a better soap
~Also you could be working in a high acid environment or living in a acidic city
~Or you just wear shitty rings and the titanium one was a good buy.

If you change your pH, you will die.
No joke. The human body has a pH of about 7, which is neutral. Other areas maintain a different pH to maximize the functions of enzymes specific to those areas. If your pH changes, then the balance of your many biological processes become tilted and you can go into shock and most likely die.

Titanium is very highly resistant against oxidation, so it keeps much longer. The cause of jewelry corrosion can come from your life style. Exposure to certain chemicals can change the properties of metals. Common factors that corrode are sunlight, water, humid air, high temperature, and strong chemicals, including chlorine.

They sell ph tests in pharmacy stores now. I think they are called litmus papers or somehing like that. If you are lower or higher talk to the pharmacist or a Nutrional expert on what reduces high acid levels. God Bless
