Distinction between urinary acids originating from nutrition and those produced in the human body.
A simple procedure to distinguish between urinary acids originating from nutrition and beverages and those produced from compounds stored in the body is described. Acids originating from nutrition disappear in urine samples after a few days of a zero diet, whereas those produced from body compounds do not. The zero diet can be substituted by a diet of peeled rice and water.
