Question

Acidity is caused due to deficiency of acid in the stomach.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Hydrochloric acid $\left(\text{HCl}\right)$ is the primary digestive acid present in our stomach. It helps to ease the digestion process. Excess of hydrochloric acid increases acidity in our stomach. It leads to indigestion. To neutralise this effect, we intake antacids such as milk of magnesia.
