Is there a link between Heartburn and Cancer?

Heartburn, or Acid Reflux can be very uncomfortable, and also quite dangerous, but what causes it, and what can we do about it?

Heartburn or Acid Reflux is when some of the contents of the stomach, including hydrochloric acid pushes up through the valve at the top of the stomach, up the oesophagus, sometimes as far as the mouth.  First and foremost, if you develop heartburn or reflux, then you  must go to your GP and get checked out, as the symptoms are very similar to a heart attack.
