The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve metal, just a drop of the stomach acid on your palm can melt your muscles, your stomach produces a very strong acid known as HYDROCHLORIC ACID ( HCL) it is commonly used to clean rusty steel and scaly coils and it is also found in some household cleaning supplies such as toilet bowl cleaners .

medically it is a known fact that our stomach secretes roughly 2 litres of HCL daily

this HCL along with digestive enzymes and other chemicals in the stomach are known as Gastric Juice .

The Gastric juice is very important for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat, HCL kills bacteria and viruses that may come along with food and drink, protecting our system

various infections and diseases .

it also activates other stomach enzymes that digest proteins in our food ,HCL also maintain PH ( alkaline ) for the function of these enzymes ( dastric juice) and other digestive enzymes in the system ,since acids are measured in in a PH scale with a range from 0 to 14 , the lower the PH LEVEL , the more strongly acidic the fluid

A healthy stomach has a PH of 1.5 to 3.0 thereby putting the stomach acid somewhere between vinegar and battery acid .

Surprisingly this strong acid does not harm our stomach it is because our stomach has lining of mucous secreting cells, that coat the inside of the stomach protecting the stomach from acid, sometimes the gastric juice leaks up into the esophagus, which lack this protective mucus layer , this acid reflux causes burning feeling such as heartburn, at times too much digestive acids can eat away the mucus lining leading to ULCERS

Ulcers in the stomach are known at stomach, gastric or peptic ulcers

However, deficiency of HCL in the stomach can cause many problems without the present of these acids the human body will suffer severe issues in absorbing IRON thereby increasing risk of developing Iron deficiency, with greater risk of infection of the digestive tract which can lead to Malabsorption, a condition that prevents your small intestines nutrients from Foods .
