My X husband used to use that solution, and then he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Most likely due to gerd, not from the treatment itself.
People with GERD have a slightly higher risk of getting adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. This risk seems to be higher in people who have more frequent symptoms. But GERD is very common, and the vast majority of people who have it do not go on to develop esophageal cancer.
