    High-salt foods will damage the stomach wall, and the damaged stomach wall will increase the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection. Eight to 90% of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori. Coupled with the fact that long-term gastric ulcers can cause gastric cancer, the World Health Organization declared H. pylori as a microbial carcinogen.
