the body tightly controls blood pH. However, to do so it uses the store of alkali metal in teh body, calcium in the bones. So the main problem from acidic diet is osteoperosis, and losing other ions which the body needs. Its mostly important to just get enough minerals, especially calicium, potassium, and magnesium. Some acids are bad, like phosphoric in colas. However others such as citric acid or ascorbic acid are metabolized and not problematic (other than teeth erosion if you hold them in your mouth.)
