NO, but bacon can: Spicy food is not known to cause stomach cancer. Processed meats such as bacon, sausages, ham, bologna ; hot dogs increase risk of stomach cancer, as does salty foods. Fruits ; veggies, esp citrus, carrots, sweet potatoes, garlic ; onions prevent stomach cancer. See http://www.Doctoroz.Com/videos/stomach-cancer-prevention-diet.

No: There is a very high rate of gastric cancer in japan and korea due to their diets. These cuisines are different. Gastric cancer is not as common in thailand and india where food is quite spicy. In the us we have low gastric cancer but high colon cancer. If koreans or japanese have children in the us and feed them a us diet they will have high colon and low gastric cancer rates.
