Why is the pH to your stomach 2 good but possibly destructive to your bodies?
The pH is good because it is good at eradicating things that enter the stomach (food, ingested pathogens, etc.). It is bad because if the stomach lining degrades, the acid can eat a hole through your stomach lining, creating an ulcer. If the stomach acid goes up into your throat (acid reflux/GERD), it will burn your esophagus. hope it will help you :)
