The Hidden Causes of Stomach Cancer in Asians

Pickled vegetable extracts can cause DNA damage in cells and a petri dish, but what about in people? Researchers in Vancouver fed people 30 ounces of Fukujin zuuke, assorted vegetables pickled in soy sauce, or pickled cucumbers over a three day period. Biopsies taken from their stomach lining before the experiment started were normal, as were the biopsies taken after eating fresh carrots or cucumbers. But after just a few days of consuming pickled vegetables, moderate to severe tissue abnormalities were found suggestive of stomach irritation.
