Your Stomach Is Strong Enough to Digest Metal
The acid inside your stomach is so powerful that it can dissolve metal.
Stomach acid has a pH close to 1, which makes it strong enough to break down tough materials like iron.
So why doesnβt it digest your stomach itself?
Because your stomach is protected by a thick layer of mucus that constantly renews itself. Without this protective barrier, your stomach would literally digest itself.
Your body is handling extreme chemistry every day
and you never even notice it.
