On the question of how the acid and aklaline foods is taught at junior and senior high schools, 263 teachers of homemaking education answered. The findings are as follows : 1) Regarding the acid and alkaline foods, 96 percent junior and 100 percent senior high school teachers replied that they included it in their teaching. 2) Between 70 and 80 percent of the teachers tended to teach that the numeral value of the potential of hydrogen(pH) balance of blood depended on what kind of food we eat. 3) Concerning the foods, both acid and alkaline, food composition tables which show the ingredients of food were mostly based on the numeral values made by Nishizaki et al. It is proposed that food composition tables should be made by adopting more of other available research materials.
