this is the only scientific article I found concerning Hay-diet (food combining).

Is there any objection to merging the content from this article in food combining? There doesn't seem to be enough verifiable, sourced material here to warrant a separate article, and the Dr Hay Diet can be summarized in the food combining article instead. MastCell Talk 18:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
This is a distinct diet. I've already mentioned, and don't think I need to mention again, that the term "food combining" has been used in other contexts for other diets, as for example the vegetarian diet of Frances Moore Lappe, as published in Diet for a Small Planet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Badagnani ( talk • contribs).
I know it's called protein combining, but Internet sources also call it "food combining." This confusion would lend itself to adding disambiguations to both, making clear the distinction. Badagnani 20:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I have queried the sentence, "Dr. Hay began eating only natural foods". "Natural" has no precise meaning. What are "unnatural" foods? It should be replaced by a description of what sort of things he ate and what sort of things he avoided.
There should be a summary of the reception of Hay's theories. The Hay diet is popular, but what do other dietitians say about it? Marshall46 ( talk) 18:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
A sub-heading "Criticisms" would improve this article. Some one asked "The Hay diet is popular, but what do other dietitians say about it?" Most of them probably say that is a lot of rubbish, as the body is quite capable of digesting the different foods from different groups (e.g. acids and those high in alkalinity simultaneously.

I have removed the following line: "There is also no evidence to support the notion that acidic and alkaline foods should be eaten separately." This sentence was connected to the following reference: Gilman, Sander L. (2008). Diets and Dieting: A Cultural Encyclopedia. New York: Taylor & Francis. pp. 128. ISBN 0-203-93550-0. I checked this source, and, at least on the page indicated, it does not say or imply that there is a lack of evidence for acidic/alkaline separation. On the contrary, the entry (or at least the portion cited) comes off as relatively favorable regarding Hay's ideas. This source would be a useful one for this wikipedia article, if used accurately.
