Hi C-H's,

Catching up with my email after the holiday I noticed a thread about 
diminishing the flavor of vinegar in hot sauces. The simplest way to 
do this would be to drop a piece of limestone (calcium and magnesium 
carbonates) into the sauce bottle. It will slowly reduce the acidity 
of the sauce by reacting with the vinegar.

I also noticed this rather dangerous suggestion:

>And drinking HCL is a very good remedy when you have trouble with stomach
>acid... but you have to dilute it first...

So to counteract excess hydrochloric acid in your stomach you drink 
hydrochloric acid? I don't think so.
