Ever given thought to the corrosive power of acid? • There's a good chance of seeing the fascinating effect it can have on wood, metal and the like. • For the most part, acid can turn a piece of metal into a fizzing liquid, but do you know that your stomach acid can do the same? • Well, as weird as it sounds, your stomach acid can dissolve small pieces of metal — it's even strong enough to burn a hole right through the skin! • For starters, stomach acid which is also known as gastric acid contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and hydrochloric acid. • In fact, the concentration of hydrochloric acid alone varies between 5,000 to 10,000 parts per million. • How To Measure The Strength of Acids • Essentially, the PH scale goes from 0 to 14 — 0 is the most acidic, 7 is neutral, and 14 is the most alkaline or non-acidic. • So What About Stomach Acid? • The level of acid in the stomach is typically within the range of 1 to 3 which is very acidic. • In fact, the strength of stomach acid is similar to that of battery acid making it strong enough to eat through steel or a piece of wood. • The good thing is, our stomach acid protects us from all the viruses and bacteria that find their way into the body via the mouth, nose, and food we eat. • In essence, these germs have no chance of survival, and it's all thanks to the acidic environment of the stomach. • But what prevents this powerful acid from eating right through us? • Well, your stomach's epithelial cells protect you from the destructive power of the acid. • These cells produce a solution of mucous and bicarbonate that coats the stomach lining. • For those who might not know, the bicarbonate is a major element (base) that neutralizes the stomach acid. • What's more, the mucous produced by epithelial cells creates a physical barrier between the walls of the stomach and the acid it produces. • All in all, the acid in your stomach is incredibly strong, but the good thing is, the epithelial cells protect you and that's great. • It's also good to know that these cells renew themselves every three to four days, so you can be sure that your stomach lining will always be safe. • Subscribe for more! https://goo.gl/nJ8d6r • Royalty free Pictures from • www.pixabay.com • Royalty Free Music from • Audio Library – No Copyright Music - • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • ℹ️ Medical Disclaimer: https://pastebin.com/s0cHYHvf • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
