Best Answer

We can eat drink mild acids, such as ascorbic acid, citric acid, ethanoic acid(acetic Acid - vinegar).

Human stomachs can cope with these acids under the common ion effect, because the stomach naturally produces hydrochloric acid , for normal digestion.

All these acids have the common ion 'H^(+).
