Nigerian Doctor Explains Stomach's Shocking Acidity

Stomach Acid: Stronger Than You Think Nigeria – A recent short video by Nigerian doctor Doc Doyze is bringing attention to a surprising fact about human digestion: the extreme acidity of the stomach. Doyze, in a short, engaging video, explains that the stomach's pH level ranges from 1.5 to 3, a level of acidity that would burn skin on contact. He explains that this high acidity is essential for breaking down food and killing ingested bacteria and germs. "Your stomach is so acidic," Doyze explains in his video, "that if you scooped up some gastric juice and put it on your hands, it would burn off your skin." He further explains the role of this acidity in preventing illness, stating that "60% of what makes us sick is what we eat." The video concludes by explaining how ulcers develop when the stomach's protective layer weakens, allowing the highly acidic environment to damage the stomach lining. Doyze's video has already gained significant traction online, highlighting the public's interest in easily digestible and engaging health information.
