The Claim
High salt intake is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer in adults, with relative risks of 1.68 for high versus low intake and 1.41 for moderately high versus low intake, based on a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
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.
Eating a lot of salt might raise your chances of getting stomach cancer, especially in adults. The more salt you eat, the higher the risk seems to be.
