The Serious Side of Heartburn
If you suffer from chronic heartburn, go see a doctor NOW!
While occasional heartburn is normal, chronic heartburn is not and can lead to cancer when not properly treated... Heartburn is caused by a leaky valve at the end of the esophagus that allows acid contents from the stomach to back up, or reflux, into the esophagus. The constant exposure to acid can damage its lining... Esophageal cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers in the United States, and it is extremely deadly if not caught in time. Only 16 percent of patients diagnosed with this cancer will be alive in five years.
