Gastric acid or stomach acid is the acidic component – hydrochloric acid of gastric juice, produced by parietal cells in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. With a pH of between one and three, gastric acid plays a key role in the digestion of proteins by activating digestive enzymes , which together break down the long chains of amino ...
Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid or spirits of salt, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid. It is a component of the gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animal
As protein enters the stomach, it binds to hydrogen ions, which raises the pH of the stomach. Inhibition of gastrin and gastric acid secretion is lifted. This triggers G cells to release gastrin, which in turn stimulates parietal cells to secrete gastric acid. Gastric acid is about 0.5% hydrochloric acid, which lowers the pH to the desired pH ...

7. Soy Can Affect Fertility in Men. Soy has come a long way. Once dismissed as “hippie food,” today it’s a popular protein alternative for vegetarians and vegans.
Contradictory statements: "Chemically it is an acid solution with a pH of 1 to 2 in the stomach lumen" and "The pH of gastric acid is 2 to 3 in the human stomach lumen, the acidity being maintained..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.7.5.142 20:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC) Could do with something saying why stomach acid is produced.
