Doesn't our stomach kill a lot of bacteria with the acid?
- majewsky 9y agoFood and drinks pass through other parts of our body before hitting the stomach.
- refurb 9y agoSurprisingly not. How else would your intestinal biome be established unless bacteria passed unharmed through your stomach? Also, there are lots of diseases such as E. coli infection, etc, that are food borne. Stomach acid doesn't seem to help all that much with those.
