  2. No HCl would lead to reduced mucus production in the stomach lining.
  3. The absence of HCl would cause the stomach to digest its own tissues.
  4. No HCl in the stomach would significantly increase the pH of the small intestine.
  5. The absence of HCl would speed up the digestive process.
  6. Lack of HCl would result in higher absorption of iron and vitamin B12.
  7. No HCl would increase the activity of gastric enzymes.
  8. Without HCl, fats would be completely indigestible.
  9. The absence of HCl would lead to some loss of protein digestion, difficulty in protein denaturation, inability to kill ingested bacteria and a decrease in pancreatic secretion.
  10. Without HCl, carbohydrates would not be digested at all.
