In an attempt to snag a piece of the purity pie, Pepsi launched Crystal. Its new cola was clear, caffeine-free and a total failure. It was hard for consumers to think of cola as a clear liquid. Which was not helped by the fact that Crystal didnât taste like cola at all. In fact, no one really knew what it tasted like â just that it was not good. Two years later, the product was pulled from the shelves. But Pepsi didnât give up completely on its quest for purity.
Why You Need Stomach Acid and What Happens When You Neutralize It. The importance of stomach acid is well-documented. Stomach acid is essential for the absorption of Vitamin B12 which plays key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and in the formation of blood.
A base is any substance that can neutralize an acid. The pH of a base is 7.1-14. All antacids have chemical in them called a buffer. When an antacid is mixed with an acid the buffer tries to even out the acidity and that is how stomach acid gets neutralized.he original purpose of this experiment was to determine which antacid would neutralize the most stomach acid. The different antacids I used were Tums, Tagamet, MAALOX, and Pepcid AC. In an antacid it is not the name brand that tells how well it works it is something called an active ingredient.
