https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stomach-c... suggests Mongolian, Japanese and Korean diets are the worst. What do their diets have in common? High traditional intake of distilled alcohol, pickled foods, and meat. IIRC pickled foods are alkaline and weaken the stomach's acidic environ, exposing stomach lining to compounding damage from alcohol, chilli, etc.

Pickles usually contain vinegar for preservation, which is highly acidic. So they are often acidic, not alcaline, and won't weaken anything

Because saturated fats do cause health issues? Every large health organization recommends limiting intake of saturated fats for health reasons
Based off bad science paid for by big sugar.

OK so pH from pickling per se is out... but highly salted foods can be basic. Seawater is basic and Japanese consume loads of fish. Anyway, even if that's the the cause, it's the only similarity I can think of between those three worst performing diets. Maybe also consumption of ferns?
Seawater is alkaline, not acidic due to dissolved coral structures (carbonate hardness). Acidification of seawater is a major concern for coral life since they can't deposit calcium into their skeletons below like 7.4 pH

That's not the case at all. Maybe you're thinking of unsaturated fats?

Salt does not affect the pH of a solution. pH is the ratio of H to OH atoms in a solution, salt is NaCl, which provides neither.

Aha! Makes sense. So why might those three countries have the highest stomach cancer incidence?

50/50 on that. Had a near miss there. Borderline type 2. Blasted weight down from 115kg to 65kg and changed diet. Now I still eat pizza, pasta, bread and chocolate all the time. Just reasonable amounts of it as part of a balanced diet. And not the crap shovelled out by fast food restaurants.
GJ! Insulin resistance is much more a function of total caloric load and expenditures than composition. It's called metabolic syndrome, not high glycemic index syndrome. You reworked your lifestyle and metabolism and came back into the "zone" before you fell off the cliff. How much better do you feel?

Big sugar paid Harvard et al to point the CVD boner at fats instead of sugar, namely saturated. Wrong. Dr. Mary Enid correctly identified trans fats as the real problam. Funny that sugars will cause fat Genesis. A body can not accommodation make. We're suppose to hunger. Good things happen when we fast. Even the Bible gets gluttony right. This was back in a day in age when you might eat a single meal a day.
That is not a well reasoned position to take.
