Esophageal Cancer – Fear of Too Hot The tender mucosa of esophagus is very afraid of scalding, as long as the temperature of food exceeds 60℃, the mucosa will be scalded and peeled off, when we do not have any discomfort. However, if we are repeatedly stimulated by overheated food, the mucosal damage on the esophagus is not yet repaired and then scalded, esophagitis may be formed. The esophageal mucosa constantly repairs itself, eventually forming mutations, and cancer slowly occurs under constant heat stimulation. Stomach Cancer – Fear of Too Salty Common points can often be found in stomach cancer patients: meals are not punctual, hungry and full; diet is salty, often love to eat pickled food; have been infected with Helicobacter pylori. Eating too much high salt food, due to the high concentration of nitrite easily induced stomach cancer, intake of salt concentration is too high will also slow down the gastric emptying, increase its susceptibility to carcinogens, prolong the contact time between carcinogens and the gastric mucosa.
