The most common spice, salt, almost doubles the likelihood of developing stomach cancer, said the therapist, gastroenterologist Konstantin Spakhov. He told about the dangerous properties of salt in a comment on aif.ru.
According to the doctor, scientists have long discovered that lovers of high-salt dishes are at a significantly higher risk of developing "stomach cancer" than others. However, few people know about this danger, Spakhov added. "People are sure that salt only harms hypertensives. But it still increases the risk of developing kidney stones, diabetes, osteoporosis and cataracts. It is necessary to abandon the increase in food," the specialist called.
If a person adds salt to the food on the plate, it means that he uses this spice too much and is at risk of developing many diseases.
According to the doctor, it is not difficult to stop adding salt to food. To do this, you need to remove the salt bowl from the table and wait three weeks. That period is enough to get used to without adding spices to food, the expert assured.
