No, you are being too general. An acid by definition is anything with a lower than neutral pH value (< 7.0). There are many acids that the body and cells in particular require for regular functioning. These include citric acid, lactic acid and, hydrocholoric acid.
In other words, a carcinogen can be acidic or basic. The pH level has no corelation.

Which acid causes cancer? Anyway the nutrients in fruits and vegetables are good protectors against cancer.

The acid in fruits and vegetables won't cause cancer. If anything, they will help prevent it.

This acid/alkaline theory about cancer has never been tested or proven in any way, and I think it's basically a bunch of nonsense. There are people who recommend drinking small amounts of hydrogen peroxide if you have cancer, but I think it's all highly dubious at best.
Fruit and vegetables are natural and very healthy - eat them!!!

Acid from fruits and vegetables does not cause cancer. There are many types of cancers and many causes for them but eating fruits and vegetables is not one of them.
In fact many fruits and vegetables contain anti-oxidants which fight cancer.

it depends on the fruit. oranges always have higher acid count than apples or a banana but its not so much acid as to cause cancer. fruits and veggies prevent it

Yes, most fruits and veggies have some level of acidity. BUT the benefits from eating fruits and veggies and getting natural vitamins far outweight the risk of acid.

Sure lots of things cause cancer and that is scary but the thing about cell phones is that more and more people are dumping landline phones and just using cell phones. Many kids could grow up not even knowing what a corded or even cordless house phone is or what the heck "landline" phone even means. (I have seen that question on here a few times) I do not like using my cell phone exclusvely but its not because of the news reports of it "possibly" cuasing cancer its just I am more used to and more comfortable talking on a regular phone when I am on a longer or important conversation. Cell phones are not always that clear or comfortable to hold. They are great tho I am not dissing cells all together I LOVE TEXTING and having a phone handy all the time I am just not ready to give up a regular phone for a cell and think to many are and the fact more people "could" get brain cancer in 20 yrs makes it a little scary too.

Your bady has to have a certain amount of acid. Your body can't be too acidic or too alkaline. It is called your ph balance. If either one is off then usually you have some type of infection in your body.

You have stomach acid, you shouldn't get cancer from it.
