I presume it’s because some pathogens are adapted to us, or it’s because of our changed diet since the agricultural revolution 10k years ago at most, or our population density and food production and transportation system causes greater exposure to pathogens, or done mix of all those and probably more
Human stomach acid is as low as PH 1.5
We are descended from scavengers
The acid we make is PH 0.8, it goes to 1.5 when mixed with the other gastric juices
Then why is food poisoning so common?
