Salad dressings

Many store-bought dressings have a high acid content. The good news? Pairing them with alkaline vegetables like lettuce will neutralize the negative effects they can have on your teeth.
2
Tomatoes

Most vegetables are only slightly acidic, but tomatoes (with all their seedy goodness) trigger acidic reactions in the body. So eat them with alkaline foods like pasta or bread.
3
Fruits
cherries
Blackberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes — all of these good-for-you fruits are highly acidic. Though they're harsh on your teeth, that doesn't mean you should stop eating them. Simply rinse your mouth with water after consumption to neutralize the acid they leave behind on your teeth.
4
Wine

While wine is one of the more healthy alcohols someone can consume, the tannins in the beverage can cause acidity in the body. Always drink one glass of water for every glass of wine.
5
Soft drinks and carbonated beverages
soda
These beverages increase the amount of stomach acid your body produces, which can cause all sorts of problems. While you don't have to cut them from your diet entirely, reduce how many cans of pop you drink.
6
Coffee

Not only does coffee dehydrate your system (which can increase the body's acidity), but the beans are naturally acidic too. Make sure to enjoy your coffee with an acid-neutralizing cup of milk or cream.
7
Lemon juice

Lemons are highly acidic but also incredibly detoxifying and good for your body. The key is to dilute lemon with a neutral, alkaline substance like water.
8
Pickles
pickles
Most cured foods (meaning those preserved in vinegar) will be slightly more acidic than others, since vinegar is an acidic substance. So eat pickles in moderation.
9
Fruit juices
fruit juice
Whether freshly squeezed or store bought, many fruit juices are highly acidic. If you like to consume them in the morning or after a workout, neutralize a juice's acidic effects by watering it down or sipping on it through a straw.
10
Sweeteners
sugar
Although these items make some foods more palatable, processed sweeteners are likely to produce an acidic reaction in a woman's body.
