A blatantly ignored cause of disease and death
Despite what you may read on most pharmaceutical company-sponsored “health” websites and even what your doctor may tell you, disease doesn’t just pop out of nowhere and bite poor unsuspecting you in the derriere.

This increases your risk of stomach cancer by 600%

In 90 percent of the cases there are no symptoms at all, so most people who have it don’t even know it. But just because there are no symptoms, that doesn’t mean people that have it are in the clear.
