To neutralize acids in the case of poisoning, which substance is recommended?

Vinegar
Milk of Magnesia
Lemon Juice
Baking Soda

The correct answer is: Milk of Magnesia

Milk of Magnesia is recommended for neutralizing acids in the case of poisoning because it contains magnesium hydroxide, which is a base. When an acid and a base combine, they neutralize each other and create a salt and water. Vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda are all acidic substances and would not be effective in neutralizing the acid in the body. It is important to seek medical attention in cases of poisoning, but in the meantime, drinking Milk of Magnesia can help reduce the harmful effects of the acid.
