    Many preserved foods, especially short-term preserved vegetables, contain too much nitrite. This substance is not only toxic in itself, but may also synthesize carcinogenic nitrosamines from amines in protein foods. Stomach cancer risk. In addition, preserved foods are often salty, and excessive intake of high-salt foods will cause direct irritation to the gastric mucosa, and are more prone to gastritis or ulcers. If you do not pay attention, it may become cancerous over time.
