Ranitidine heartburn medications, including those commonly known by the brand name Zantac, may contain a cancer-causing chemical called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)
NDMA is a nitrosamine chemical that was formerly used to make rocket fuel and lubricants
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies NDMA as a probable human carcinogen
Past research revealed that exposure to NDMA led to abnormal growths called neoplasms and liver abnormalities in rats, even at low doses
Ranitidine is an H2 (histamine-2) blocker, which is used to prevent and relieve heartburn by decreasing the amount of acid in your stomach, but more often than not, heartburn is the result of insufficient amounts of acid
Eating real food and infusing your gut microbiome with beneficial bacteria from traditionally fermented foods may help resolve heartburn naturally
