Looking it up I just read that our gastric acid is produced at PH 0.8
It’s immediately increased to PH 1.5 by the other gastric juices, then is increased more as it is used to digest
People who eat one or two meals a day probably have very acidic stomach acid at each meal; those who snack constantly or eat 5 meals a day probably never see strong stomach acid except maybe at breakfast
A vulture has gastric acid with a pH of approximately 1. Which is equivalent to 100% pure hydrochloric acid.
The acidic component of a human’s gastric acid is hydrochloric acid. The overall pH of our gastric acid is between 1 and 3, which is similar to carrion eating carnivores and lower than most mammals.
However, the secretion of acid in the stomach (in humans) is tightly regulated by the body, with acid being secreted during digestion and then neutralized after the fact.
So, someone who eats a lot will have gastric juices with a more consistently low pH. Unless you just really like chowing down on baking soda and lye, in which case, why?
Our stomach acidity is pretty low too.
