Peptic Ulcer Disease
Did you know that in everyones stomach there is a strong acid (like the fluid in a car battery ,it burns) called HydroChloric acid .this acid helps prepare the food for the digestion process in the INTESTINE , by mixing and softening the food and beginning the digestion of Iron for example .
This fluid ,although not enough alone to digest animal tissue ,is very caustic though , and can damage living tissue , that.s why in healthy people a layer of MUCUS protects the stomach tissue from being damaged by the fluid .
when this mucus barrier is broken down due to any disease process , the stomach tissue is damaged by direct contact with the gastric acid ,and if not treated will eventually erode leading either to erosion of a blood vessel inthe wall of the stomach ,with subsequent bleeding and death , OR a perforation of the stomach resulting in the acid and bacteria from food invading the Abdominal cavity , which is a potentially lethal event .
Some known causes of decrease in the mucuslayer barrier effect:-
# aspirin and other similar antiinflammatory analgesics .
especially with prolonged excessive use .
# inflammation of the cells lining the interior of the stomach ,which could result from alcohol ,smoking ,spicy food,or some bacterial infections like Helicobacter Pylori infections .
# acute/chronic stress and anxiety .
# severe disease ,large burns ,extensive trauma .

What do you have towards pigs? I love ham and have eaten all of it my life. My aunt did too and she or he lived to be 103. I simply ate a big ham dinner the day past and suppose great. I constantly consider just right after a excellent pork dinner seeing that it can be delicious. I'm addicted and can must take my probabilities that it doesn't kill me. I am not involved. If what you say is right, then all people who eats pork could be dead. Get real. Incidentally, i'm not obese and my cholesterol is ideal. I don't have any acne, no longer even any zits as an adolescent and not ever had a boil or cyst in my existence. Under no circumstances any form of worm either. Guess I used to be consuming the better pork.
