Hardly.

Much more than 30%. It's found in a greater percentage than that of
people in the US whether they have ulcers or not, for chrissake. This
information is easy to come by. It speaks volumes that you didn't
know it.

Because only certain types of ulcers are caused by H. pylori. You can
also get them from, e.g. overuse of NSAIDs. In addition, H. pylori is
most frequently associated with duodenal ulcers; it's only found in
about 60% of patients with stomach ulcers.

The answer is that Chuck has screwed up once again, no surprise there.

I sure would, if they made a nutball claim like "H pylori causes 100%
of cases of cancer." That's right up there with "cancer is caused by
a liver fluke."

These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.
