General practitioner, cardiologist Alexander Myasnikov: salt in large quantities is a carcinogen.
Doctor Myasnikov urged Russians to control the amount of salt they eat. In Russia, they eat too much spice: the average citizen of the country consumes up to 11 grams per day, while the upper limit of the daily salt intake does not exceed 6. Alexander Myasnikov warned: the habit of oversalting can lead to the development of cancer.
“Salt is gastric cancer carcinogen,” said a well-known physician
Dr. Myasnikov explained when excess salt leads to stomach cancer. He noticed that many people, despite their addiction to salty foods, do not face a serious illness. But people with Helicobacter pylori infection are at a serious risk of getting sick.
