It’s a common misconception that stomach ulcers are caused by emotional upset, psychological distress, or spicy food.

Rusha Modi explains how one doctor’s famous (and dangerous) experiment led us to the answer. \[Directed by Jonathan Trueblood, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Weston Fonger, Jarrett Farkas\].
