Looking it up, citrus is alkaline-forming, not acid-forming, and things that are acidic in their initial form don't necessarily increase system acidity; they may have an alkalizing net impact. Apparently your body's response to food is the important bit.

Interesting - in the past I had read about alkaline vs acid "forming" but assumed it was sort of pseudoscience BS (maybe mainly due to people recommending expensive "alkaline" water). Not sure if Tomatoes are in the same boat as Citrus but I have dated people who could not even think about drinking coffee and tomato in the same day - acid reflux disaster.
