Not really: Your stomach already has hydrochloric acid in it at a pH of about 1.5. The most acidic foods that humans eat have a pH of 5.5 (lemon juice and vinegar). Stronger than that is unpalatable and would burn your tongue and esophagus! The stomach acid also serves an important protective function. It kills most of the bacteria on raw food that we eat.
