Salty eating wreaks havoc on the stomach
Prof. , former director of Medical University Hospital, head of gastroenterology department of Hospital, said that salty eating not only affects the heart but also promotes stomach cancer.
Salt is considered the culprit that “destroys” your digestive tract.
Science has also shown an association between dietary salt intake and an increased risk of stomach cancer.
For patients infected with Helicobacter Pylori, also known as H. pylori, the risk increases.
Not all stomach cancer patients are caused by H. pylori, but those infected with H. pylori are more likely to develop cancer.
Salt causes H. pylori bacteria to grow faster and become more active, thereby increasing the risk of stomach cancer.
Salt also acts as an inflammatory stimulator on the stomach wall, making the stomach wall more sensitive to other carcinogenic factors.
