Wow.. I present you with an argument regarding phytoplankton and you launch into a irrelevant discussion of the human anatomy?

Is you ability to properly respond to an issue of discussion so lacking that you'll do anything to avoid addressing it?

Normal, and neutral, are different standards. The current PH scale that is almost universally accepted in modern science says that PH7 equates to the neutral point. What is NORMAL for various life forms varies greatly. Some life forms have adapted to highly alkaline, or highly acid, conditions. Which is my entire point. I'm telling you that phytoplankton can, AND HAVE, adapted to various PH conditions.

They have no choice because of the EXISTING PH variations that NATURALLY occur in the oceans.

But the oceans REMAIN everywhere on the alkaline side of the PH scale. And considering that PH is measure in powers of 10 (logarithmic), it's going to require a major shift to cause the oceans to decrease their average PH below 7 (which is considered neutral PH).

Now if you think you're qualified to totally re-write the science of measuring PH levels, then have at it.

And look at all the things that we consume that are far more acid than our own blood.. Do they kill us? Or are some of them (citrus, tomatoes.. etc) actually considered very healthy for sustaining our existence?

I'm going to give you a separate response, in hopes that you will re-focus on the issue at hand.
