Is Carbonic acid good for as?
“Well, it’s to my understanding that by ingesting high quantities of carbonic acid, our natural pH levels in our stomachs will shift slightly and there will definitely be adverse effects.” The pH of stomach acids (hydrochloric) is in the region of 1, whereas carbonic acid is an extremely weak acid with pH around 5.5. As the pH of the stomach acids is already so much lower than that of carbonic acid, the presence of the latter makes no more difference than the presence of any other weak acid or base (orange juice, vitamin C, vinegar, lemon juice, indigestion tablets). The pH of the inside of the stomach will change from time to time according to the types of materials passing through it, and there is no risk of health problems caused by a weak acid like carbonic.
