Hey Max! Counterintuitive as it sounds, milk actually is slightly acidic. Fresh cow's milk has a chemical pH between 6.5 and 6.7. Since a neutral pH is exactly 7.0, anything below that is technically an acid. People often mistake milk for being alkaline because it temporarily soothes heartburn. That relief happens because the milk coats your stomach lining, not because it is a base.
