Prove that acids are toxic how? explain in brief?

A toxin is a substance that causes serious bodily harm, including death [reference: Definition of TOXIC].
Acid produced in the stomach is hydrochloric acid. It is naturally produced by the body, and it is perfectly non-toxic when used as intended, in the stomach.
Now, the same substance can cause injury if it is placed in a different part of the body. For example, when you vomit or if you have acid reflux, the contents of the stomach - including the stomach acid, would come up to the throat and mouth. The sour, acid feel you get is the cells of your mouth and throat telling you that they are irritated and in pain from the interaction with the stomach acid.
So, stomach acid is NOT toxic.
