In other words, you can eat to your hearts content, but if you have Hypochlorhydria your body can reach starvation mode, and begin to display symptoms of nutrient deprivation. High acid levels are required for the break down of many trace minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, boron, selenium, and vitamins B12 and B3, which are vital for organ support. Childhood asthma is also related to Hypochlorhydria, so a healthy diet is essential for children.
