Al Marsad newspaper: A report issued by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) revealed a certain type of food as a cause of stomach cancer.
The report stated that foods rich in salt directly lead the development of cancer, as the health organization found strong evidence that some foods rich in salt are a “cause” of stomach cancer, according to Russia Today.
Foods defined as “high in salt” are those foods that are preserved in salt such as meat, fish, and vegetables that are preserved in salt.
The results of the WCRF research showed that the more people who ate these foods, the higher their chances of developing stomach cancer.
Scientists believe that the increased risk of stomach cancer from foods preserved with salt is because they contain a large amount of salt, which soaks foods during the preservation process, which damages the stomach lining and causes lesions that, if left to develop, can become stomach cancer.
