A...Um, it is esophagus, not "espohogus". And it is where heartburn occurs, as acid is splashed up from the stomach due to gastro-esophoageal reflux disease (GERD). The frequent failure of the hiatal sphincter at the base of the esophagus/diaphragm under the lungs, allows a fold of the stomach to block the sphincter -- a hiatal hernia -- and allows stomach contents, including normal acids and other digestive juices to wash back up.<br /><br />After time the continued exposure to acids cause the cells of the throat -- esophagus -- to change. Further changes may lead to cancer.<br /><br />GERD is the leading cause of chronic sinus infections (acids and food particles/chunks washing up the throat onto sensitive sinus tissues).<br /><br />Recurring acid reflux (stuff washing up the throat from the stomach) can 'wash' the enamel off the molars, resulting in increased tooth decay.<br /><br />Tobacco juices slithering down the throat on a regular basis can injure the esophagus, too. Cigar smokers that let the fire to die out in their stogy and continue to suck/chew on the stub can experience throat or stomach cancer. They can also experience the mouth, throat, and stomach cancers of the tobacco chewer.<br /><br />Which do you suppose will come first from the 3D printer -- a President that works according to the Constitution, or ammo for your basic liberty-defense weapon?Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
