The Claim
In Chinese adults, consuming preserved vegetables above 43 grams per week is associated with a 6.33-fold increased risk of gastric cancer, demonstrating a significant dose-response relationship after adjustment for multiple confounders.
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 more than a small amount of pickled veggies each week might make Chinese adults over 6 times more likely to get stomach cancer, and the more you eat, the higher the risk.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Salt processed food and gastric cancer in a Chinese population.
The study looked at salty foods like preserved vegetables and found they increase stomach cancer risk in Chinese adults, which matches the claim. It supports the idea but doesn't give the exact numbers mentioned.
