Off-topic I know, but would milk be considered a neutral substance?

It's acidic as Uzique said. The fats in there.

Ahh, I guess it is. Weird. I was always taught it was a baseSpark wrote:

Don't know what milk you get but it doesn't taste like soap to meJohnG@lt wrote:

Just googled it. Milk has an average Ph 0f 6.7 fresh. Uzique's right.
Lactic acid?

If it's 6.7, it's very slightly acidic, because you all remember of course that 7 is neutral. Wiki says average pH is 6.4-6.8
Spark what are you on about, though? Talking about fat as an influence on pH and soap?

Didn't they teach us that shit in high school science class?
If the women don't find ya handsome. They should at least find ya handy.
i havent taken a science class in 4-5yrs

Well, you're still learned so it doesn't matter whether you have taken a class or not. Ace however, we are unsure his credentials are even comparable to a Freshmen in high school.

Oooo....irony.

bases generally feel/taste like soap.

Maybe he's thinking fatty acids? I was not aware that fat itself was acidic...FEOS wrote:

that's what i meant, yes. iirc a lot, if not most of the fat you eat is.SenorToenails wrote:

soaps aren't basic of themselves, but bases certainly start a similar chemical process in your skin to soap - they saponify the fats in your skin (don't know enough about the mouth to say whether that happens in the mouth though), which gives you soap basically by definition. obviously if the base is strong enough for this to really happen then soapiness is not the only thing you'll feel...

It's been a real long time since I've taken either biology or chemistry (and I've never taken biochemistry), but I thought fats were triglycerides composed of 3 fatty acids and a glycerol? I sort of thought that the bonding process of the fatty acids would make them not-acidic, but I don't really know for sure.
hm you could be right there. certainly rings a bell. if that's true then they're technically esters, which aren't acidic at all.SenorToenails wrote:

yeah but milk isn't just pure fat in an isolated chemistry lab, is itSenorToenails wrote:
