Stomach cancer
High levels of salt in your diet, which includes salty foods, probably increase risk of cancer of the stomach.
This is why WCRF UK recommends avoiding salty foods and trying to limit the amount of salt in your diet to less than 6g a day.
You can also probably reduce your risk of stomach cancer by eating fruit and vegetables, and also by eating allium vegetables such as onions and leeks.This is one of the reasons WCRF UK recommends eating at least five portions a day of a wide range of vegetables and fruits.
