Sodium is an essential nutrient for the human body, but excessive salt intake can harm health. Recent research found that habitually sprinkling more salt on food during meals significantly increases the risk of developing gastric cancer.
Previous studies on gastric cancer risk have primarily focused on Asian populations, known for their consumption of high-salt pickled vegetables, salted fish, and sauces. This latest study, utilizing data from the UK Biobank, revealed that a high-salt diet similarly increases the risk of gastric cancer among Western populations.
