"you launch into a irrelevant discussion of the human anatomy?" Actually, I was telling you pH 7 is not considered the neutral point in biological systems. I'm sorry that it was over your head. "The current PH scale that is almost universally accepted in modern science says that PH7 equates to the neutral point" If that was the case, docs wouldn't say 7.2 is acidosis. "look at all the things that we consume that are far more acid than our own blood.. " Total strawman. Despite having stomach acid of about 2, a pH of 7.1 is considered life-threatening acidosis by medical science. "the EXISTING PH variations that NATURALLY occur in the oceans" Right; that's why acidosis is effecting shell fish in the Pacific NW before other regions. "phytoplankton can, AND HAVE, adapted to various PH conditions" EZ to do in a million years. Not so EZ to do in a decade, or even a century. Evolution takes time.
