This is good question! I am taught about three strong acids. Sulphuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. You do not have enough of sulphur in your diet to make lot of sulphuric acid. Nitrogen is there in the air. But it is not readily soluble. So nitric acid is not a good choice. You have hydrogen in the water. You have lot of water in your diet. You have the chloride in the sodium and potassium chloride. You take enough of these salts in your diet. So the hydrochloric acid was the logical 'solution' for the Nature.
