Excessive salt intake is the primary cause of stomach cancer

Recently, relevant medical experts have discovered through research that the intake of high-salt diet is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer. If citizens can change their previous lifestyle habits of eating high-salt foods such as soybean paste soup and kimchi, the incidence of gastric cancer will drop significantly. Otherwise, the decline will be smaller. This shows that dietary habits play an important role in the occurrence of gastric cancer, and salt intake also has an important influence on the occurrence of gastric cancer.

In addition, scientists have found through animal experiments and human disease research that with the increase in sodium salt intake, the incidence of gastritis, gastrointestinal ulcers, and gastric cancer will also increase. This is because after the human body consumes excessive high-salt food, the high osmotic pressure of salt will cause direct damage to the gastric mucosa, causing a series of pathological changes in the gastric mucosa, such as extensive diffuse congestion, edema, erosion, ulcers, necrosis, and bleeding. High-salt food can also reduce gastric acid secretion and inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin E. Prostaglandin E has the effect of improving the resistance of gastric mucosa. If its synthesis is reduced, the gastric mucosa will be vulnerable to various attack factors and damage, resulting in gastric lesions. Similarly, high-salt and salted foods also contain a large amount of nitrates, which are converted into nitrites by reducing bacteria in the stomach, and then combined with amines in food to form nitrosamines, which are extremely carcinogenic.

It can be seen from this that the conclusion that too much salt can cause cancer has certain scientific basis. Here we remind the general public to use less salt when cooking food, eat light food, pay attention to your daily diet, and reduce the risk of cancer.
