This, he says, is the best way to reduce the risk of getting a hiatal hernia, an ailment which affects almost a third of French people. Keeping air in the stomach leads to more heartburn, which increases the risk of cancer of the oesophagus. The rise of this disease in France, he says, is due to "the burp that we no longer do". </P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/dr.+frederic+saldmann/" rel="tag">dr. frederic saldmann</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/france/" rel="tag">france</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/health/" rel="tag">health</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/dyspepsia/" rel="tag">dyspepsia</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/flatulence/" rel="tag">flatulence</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/healthcare/" rel="tag">healthcare</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/medicine/" rel="tag">medicine</a></div>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/1919286/Throw-caution-to-wind,-
