Cancer Safety Fears Of Most Common Heartburn Treatment Rejected By Major Clinical Study

Cancer Safety Fears Of Most Common Heartburn Treatment Rejected By Major Clinical Study

I'm taking Omeprazole - a proton pump inhibitor to try and avoid the threat of esophagus cancer due to repeated flooding with stomach acid. This study confirms that the medicine does not itself cause cancer. One kind of thought this must be true but good to have a serious 2 year study make sure.

Of course my alternative healthcare provider say that it's all non-sense. The stomach needs to have a lot of acid and if the acid producing cells in the stomach lining are prevented from working then bacteria accumulate in the stomach and produce even stronger acid.

I kind of doubt this but there is always someone with a different point of view.
