TL;DR
Evidence supports that gastric cancer has an environmental etiology, of which diet appears to be the most important component, and the authors examined the effect of diet on the risk of Gastric cancer.
Abstract
These data suggest that high intake of salt and smoked and pickled food may be associated with a high risk of gastric cancer, and this association could be due to intragastric formation of nitrosamines. The negative association with citric and green vegetables consumption to be associated with the inhibition of nitrosation process.
