Actually you are quite wrong. Excessive sugar consumption among other
things can and does throw your gut's PH off which can cause yeast
overgrowth as well as candida yeast overgrowth which causes your immune
system to suffer greatly as 40% of your body's imune system is in your
gut and I think it's common knowledge that a comprimised immune system
cannot effectively destroy mutated body cells which we all get numerous
times during our lives.

The whole yeast thing is crap:

I agree.

Besides, we have these neat things called "kidneys" that maintain the body's
pH in the proper balance.

To a certain extent, yes. But in many cases acid load from diet is
just a little bit too much for kidneys to cope and mild chronic
metabolic acidosis follows. This becomes more common with age when
kidneys' performance starts slowly going down.

Still, this has nothing do with cancer, IMHO, but it could cause
muscle protein breakdown and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
