The Claim
East Asia showed the most notable decline in gastric cancer burden attributed to high salt intake, with age-standardized mortality rate decreasing from 3.77 to 1.76 per 100,000 and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate from 96.58 to 41.09 per 100,000 from 1990 to 2021.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
This is about how eating too much salt can lead to stomach cancer. It says that in East Asia, fewer people are dying from this type of cancer now compared to 30 years ago, and people are also living healthier lives without as much sickness from it.
