Satisfying your salty food cravings puts you at greater risk of cancer

If snatching the saltshaker off the table before you even taste your food has become a habit, listen up.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) says a whopping 14% of stomach cancer cases are due to high salt diets.

It's true!

One in seven cases of stomach cancer is preventable and high salt consumption is the reason it develops in the first place.

What's really shocking is that stomach cancer is one of the hardest to treat and get into remission because of late detection.

Here's what a large-scale study found out about stomach cancer and salt…

You’re 68% more likely to develop stomach cancer if you eat lots of salt

 
A study by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism took seven other studies and analysed the data.
 
Researchers divided the data from 268,718 participants into groups who had a high, moderate or low salt intake.
 
And the evidence was clear.
 
Those with a high dietary salt intake were 68% more likely to develop stomach cancer.
 
It’s all because a huge percentage of the population eats almost 1.5 times the amount of salt they should!
 
And it’s what lives inside your stomach that, when there’s a high salt influx, it makes it the perfect spot for cancer cells to form.
   
The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
 
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
 
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
 
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
 
And if you or someone you love is battling cancer... You definitely can't afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks.
   

Salt promotes H. Pylori bacteria to invade your stomach

 
A bacteria, called H. Pylori, is in about 2/3 of the population’s stomach in small amounts, says the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s not enough to harm you but that changes when you eat salt.
 
Salty food help the bacteria to grow and this is what increases your stomach cancer risk.
 
Because they’re able to produce compounds that neutralise stomach acid, this makes the environment even better for them to proliferate and grow.
 
As this happens, they release toxic compounds that change the cells within your stomach. And they become cancerous cells as they grow and change.
 
Some studies say they also interfere with your immune response. When dangerous cells form, your immune system doesn’t get the message to attack them.
 
Experts in the field believe infection with H. Pylori is the most common cause of stomach cancer there is. And it just becomes worse when eat too much salt.
 
And no matter how careful you are, you’re probably eating a ton more salt than you realise…
 

You’re eating 43% more salt than is recommended every day

 
The WCRF says on average, everyone eats 43% - or 2,6g – more than the 6g daily-recommended amount every day.
 
Only 15% of the total amount of salt comes from foods that naturally contain it. It’s the processed foods you eat that give you an exorbitant 75% salt, while the remaining 10% is from the saltshaker.
 
It’s in things like packet soups, bacon, bread, cured and smoked meat, cheese, pickles, nuts and seeds, snack, fast food and tinned vegetables. The sheer salt content in these foods is what causes your daily salt intake to skyrocket.
 
But what does the salt actually do that increases your stomach cancer risk?
   
“By the end of summer, his doctor could find no trace of cancer”
 
David J. had an 8cm tumour wrapped around his backbone – entering his spinal column – when he entered the hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia. This former athlete was completely paralysed. Surgery was scheduled, but the cancer was officially declared “incurable”.
 
Just four days later, David walked out of the hospital, using only a cane. A year later, he was swimming and riding his mountain bike again. By the end of the summer, his doctor could find no trace of cancer in his body.
 
What on earth helped David finally beat it? Some toxic new chemotherapy? No.
 
Believe it or not, he owes a good part of his recovery to a revolutionary therapy you’ll read about starting on page 72 in How to Fight Cancer & Win...

Start protecting your stomach health by putting the saltshaker down

 
So, isn’t that a good enough reason to check how much salt you eat and make the necessary changes to reduce it?
