A member asked:

I heard drinking too much coffee is bad for the stomach, because it adds too much to gastric acid.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can be.: Yes, there's a change in the acid, but for most people the change is not enough to make a noticable difference. And if there is a difference noticed, choose a different beverage.
