High Salt Diet Linked to Stomach Ulcers and Stomach Cancer

[Guest guest]

I think we should always keep in mind, that when these studies are done on salt, the salt is processed, white, and in the eyes of most nutritionists, poisonous.

 

Celtic Sea Salt Brand is a nutritional salt that can even be used safely by people with hypertension because of the sodium/potassium ratio.

 

It also contains natural lithium salts which helps maintain mental health.

 

When Dr Albert Schweitzer first noticed cancer in Africa, he knew it was due to the influx of American food, and he quickly suspected the salt.

 

Refined salt is 99% sodium and 1% chemicals from the processing and the coating that resists water. Celtic Sea Salt Brand is 85% sodium and 15% charged (ionic) minerals (electrolytes).

H pylori is the main cause of stomach ulcers

 

 

 

 

 

The bug that causes stomach ulcers may

be more likely to cause disease when exposed to high concentrations of

salt, a US team of researchers has said.

Two genes associated with the potency of Helicobacter pylori became more active if a lot of salt is present.

Presenting the results at the American Society for

Microbiology conference, the researchers said research had shown salt

was linked to gastric cancer.

Experts said the findings suggested how salt and H. Pylori may interact.

H. pylori lives in the stomach, and accounts for up to 90% of duodenal ulcers and up to 80% of gastric ulcers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

altered expression patterns of some virulence genes may partially

explain the increased disease risk that is associated with a high salt

diet in H. pylori infected individuals

 

 

Dr Hanan Gancz

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bacterium may also increase the risk of gastric cancer.

Many people carry the bacterium without experiencing any symptoms.

And some of those who are affected suffer far less severe symptoms than others.

Study leader Dr Hanan Gancz and colleagues said it

was known that people who ate a high-salt diet had an increased risk of

gastric cancer but no one had looked specifically at the effects of

salt on H. pylori itself.

They measured the growth and gene expression of the

H. pylori in the laboratory and found that in the presence of high

concentrations of salt the growth rate of the bacterium dropped.

However, it did change shape and formed long chains.

At the same time, two genes associated with the virulence of the bacterium, were expressed more readily.

Diet

Dr Gancz, of the Uniformed Services University of

the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, said: "Epidemiological

evidence has long implied that there is a connection between H. pylori

and the composition of the human diet. This is especially true for

diets rich in salt."

He added: "Apparently H. pylori closely monitors the diets of those people whom it infects.

"We think that when there are high levels of salt in

the stomach environment, H. pylori over produces these factors which

enable it to survive, which in the long term increases the risk of

illness," he said.

Too much salt in the diet also causes high blood pressure and is a major cause of heart attacks and stroke.

Dr Perminder Phull, consultant in gastroenterology

at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, said diet used to be a major factor in how

people with ulcers were treated but advances in treatment mean that is

no longer an issue.

"But there is research that shows that a high salt

diet increases the risk of gastric cancer and this might explain the

mechanism between salt and H. pylori infection."

Thanks to your post, I picked up some sea salt. I try to minimize the

amount of salt I add to foods, but some things seem to really beg for

it. For example: grits! I challenge anyone to tell me how to make

grits taste good without a bit of salt! And, since I am from down

south, there is like a law that we have to eat them every so often or

else get deported above the Mason-Dixon line.

 

Besides, I like them!

Thankg, but I am just too much of a traditionalist to sweeten my grits

most of the time.

 

Besides, there are way too many other things I like with a sweet flavor.

 

I need to order some Lo Huan. Stevia leaves an aftertaste for me.

It's OK, but Lo Huan is much better. Also harder to find and more

expensive.

I'd think the only reasion you feel some foods 'need' salt is that

you're addicted to it. I've never used salt, I have always loathed

it. Yet recently I read about Himalayan Rock salt, and how

making 'sole' from it and drinking a glass a day can have many health

benefits - I decided to try it and lo and behold, I actually ENJOY my

drink of real salt water in the morning!!

 

It's real salt, unlike the stuff we buy in supermarkets. I know

someone whose 40 year psoriasis has just about cleared up in a few

weeks on it!

 

Worth looking into and seeing how you feel about it.

Did you ever try grits without salt or sweetener? Blaaaaaaaaaaaand!!

LOL.

 

I eat very little salt and now am using only sea salt.

 

I agree with one thing - people do get addicted to the taste of salt.

In most cases there are some great substitutes for livening up the

tastes of foods. Except for grits that is.

I agree with you, Tony. Grits have just gotta have some salt, and REAl butter...

 

On another subject.....Sweetner's. Agave Nectar is a wonderful sweeter.

 

Hope you are enjoying Utopia........

I've never eaten grits! When I lived in USA, the look of them was

enough to put me off! sorry - looked like lumpy porridge and I

loathe porridge too. The name doesn't excite me much either, here

grit is small stones we put on the road when it snows, mixed with,

yes, you guessed it, salt! :-)
