People who have too little stomach acid—usually people in their 40’s, 50’s and above who have heartburn and indigestion—are malnourished because they don’t absorb all the vitamins, minerals, protein, etc that they should from food notes Jonathan Wright, MD, a pioneer in natural medicine.

He notes that antacids and acid-blocking drugs that these people are usually prescribed, inadvertently cause malnutrition.

He points out that when we are young, we have very strong stomach acid, and can eat anything without a problem.
