Large-scale prospective research analysis shows that if you quit smoking, limit alcohol and eat more garlic, you will not have stomach cancer. You have the final say!

There is a place in Shandong called Linyi CountyThe place is small, with only 1,833 square kilometers, about one-tenth of Beijing'sHowever, in the study of cancer in China, Linyi County is very famous, because Linyi County,, is almost the highest incidence of stomach cancer in China(Linyi County, photo source: ditu.amap.com)in contrast to theof Cangshan County, Shandong, where the incidence of stomachcancer isWhy is there such a big difference in the same province and the same disease?Cangshan County is a garlic county, but also garlic-eating county, and Linyi County, the people, garlic is not very enthusiasticIt can be inassociation that there may be a link between garlic andstomach cancer, a large-scale prospective study of western populations identifiedsmoking as a risk factor for stomach cancer
and there was a link between alcohol consumption and stomach cancer risk But another meta-analysis and large-scale prospective cohort study did not report such an association Two studies of high-risk groups in China did not report that smoking or alcohol consumption was a major cause of stomach cancer, including a prospective study and a case-control study Previous case-control studies based on Linyi population supported smoking rather than alcohol consumption as a risk factor for stomach cancer In a case cohort study in South Korea, heavy drinking (up to seven times a week) was associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer among people who were not infected with H pylori However, no association with alcohol intake was found 1995, researchers launched the Shandong Intervention Experiment (SIT) in Linyi County to assess the progression of stomach cancer in a assessment of 2 weeks of Helicobacter pylori treatment and 7.3-year vitamin and garlic supplements Over a period of 22.3 years, the researchers found that significantly reduced risk of stomach cancer was associated with vitamin supplementation and garlic supplements The study flow chart case control study of Linyi population, many people have a of stomach cancer risk associated with their lifestyle factors In addition to improper eating habits can induce stomach disease, stomach cancer, Helicobacter pylori infection is also chronic active gastritis, peptic stomach ulcers, gastric mucosa-related lymphoma (MALT) lymphoma and stomach cancer of the main cause of the disease The effect of garlic on the prevention and treatment of stomach cancer is also based on its ability to help prevent the infection of Helicobacter pylori   the distribution of participants and the of major lifestyle factors
Researchers led by of Peking University Cancer Hospital conducted randomized clinical trials of 3,365 participants in and followed them for 20 years This large-scale prospective study again supports smoking as a risk factor for the incidence and mortality of stomach cancer Non-drinking and garlic supplements are more beneficial in preventing stomach cancer In this forward-looking analysis, no significant correlation was found between dietary factors such as total intake of fruits and vegetables and the risk of death from stomach cancer Finally, it was concluded that garlic could reduce the incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in people who did not smoke or drink published in JAMA   But the study has some limitations First, the study sample size is moderate, and the statistical capacity of some analyses may be limited Second, there is no detailed information on lifestyle factors, such as how much and how much alcohol they drink, the amount of time they smoke and the number of years per pack, and their specific diet, which prevents them from studying lifestyle factors in more detail Third, they don't have data on lifestyle changes during follow-up, nor can they examine the newer lifestyle factors However, this change is unlikely to occur in both the intervention group and the control group In addition, studies are based on high-risk rural populations with nutritional deficiencies, and the reforestation of the general population needs to be interpreted with caution in a word, don't smoke, don't drink more garlic, body times stick! Gastric cancer is far away
! The findings of this study provide new insights into lifestyle interventions to prevent stomach cancer, suggesting that large-scale gastric cancer prevention strategies may need to be developed for specific population subgroups to maximize potential beneficial effects however, garlic has a certain limit to the anti-cancer effect, after consumption to a certain amount, inhibition does not necessarily continue to increase So more still want to carry out a certain physical exercise, quit smoking alcohol restrictions, eat less stimulating food, and maintain a good state of mind References: 1 2" Guo Y, Li Z, Zhang J, et al Association Between Lifestyle Factors, Vitamin and Garlic Supplementation, and Gastric Cancer Outcomes: A Secondary Analysis of the A-Sita Clinical Trial JAMA Netw Open 2020;3 (6): e206628 doi: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.6628 Source: Transmedicine
