Agree on coke being good for digestion on its own.That's a broad generalization.
Acidic proteases need an acidic pH.
Alkaline proteases need an alkaline pH.
Coke alone improves digestion, many doctors recommend it.
Coke is also the first line treatment for dissolving gastric bezoars.
Actinidin, the protease in kiwi, has an optimum pH of around 7.
Coke has a pH of 2.6 to 2.7, if anything it would decrease the effectiveness of kiwi.
The kiwi might become active again in the small intestine, when mixed with the alkaline pancreatic juice and enzymes.
Coke and kiwi together could have an additive effect, but not synergistic.
Actinidin has a pH rage from 4-7. 4 being ideal for collagen.
