    Salt itself is not carcinogenic. The cause of canceration is that a high concentration of salt solution easily destroys the protective layer of the gastric mucosa, causing mucosal erosion or ulceration. In this case, once invaded by carcinogens, it will cause local canceration of gastric mucosal cells
