                                While many associate hydrochloric acid (HCl) with its corrosive properties, the human stomach actually produces about three to four liters of a diluted form of this acid every day to aid in digestion. This powerful chemical serves a wide variety of vital functions, both naturally within the body and across numerous industrial applications.
