On an interesting related note, like this post says, some fattiness around the waist has turned out to be a better predictor of type 2 diabetes than overall body overweightedness. I don't think it's understood why this is, but perhaps fatty stuff around one's waist shows that the body is storing the fat in a particular way that is predictive of diabetes.

Internal Ph, such as your blood, and external Ph, such as urine, are different things. The former is very difficult to change thanks to the body’s extensive buffering systems. Urine Ph can change and has little relation to the body Ph, but does relate to the type of foods one eats.

For example, when one starts on the Atkin’s diet one will usually see a defnite urine Ph change.

BMI is only a first, crude, guess at healthy fat levels. As Tonie said, thanks for mentioning that. For example: a bodybuilder with lots of muscle mass and a 8% body fat will show as obese on the BMI.

Weight and fat is actually a poor indicator of optimum health, thank you for pointing it out
