You know what doesn't make sense to me? Why isn't the esophagus protected like the stomach? I mean talk about an evolutionary fail.
Youve got the most acidic, destructive chemicals in the body right next to sensitive tissues that can't handle it. If anything there should be a gradual tapering of protection layers starting at the stomach, and moving away in both directions.
Or at least - the entire intestinal system having such protection. But as it stands, our esophgus is this tender, easily damaged tissue.
I would guess as a society our diet has gone to sh*t. And probably heavily promotes digestive abnormalities. I know you're sick of hearing this, but exactly how much acid do you think you're going to be dealing with if you do a diet of fresh vegetables, fresh meats, and some safe starches with water?

As opposed to what the typical person eats on a daily basis. Fast food, burgers, pastrami sandwiches, coffee? Soda? Add in tons of stress… It's no mystery to me.
