Now I'm scared to eat potatoes what if it grows in my stomach
Your stomach contains some of the strongest acid in nature, thanks to ancestors who were scavengers. The potato has no chance
Well, even though gastric acid(mostly hydrochloric acid) in our stomach does have a relatively low pH, it is very diluted, so in practice it just kills germs and stuff and won't obliterate everything going inside you
It's great at breaking down meat and fat (fresh or rather past it)
