The Claim
The global age-standardized mortality rate for gastric cancer attributed to high salt intake decreased by 48.9% from 1990 to 2021, and the age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate decreased by 53.3%, indicating a substantial reduction in disease burden worldwide.
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.
Fewer people worldwide are dying or suffering long-term health problems from stomach cancer linked to eating too much salt, with death rates dropping by almost half and overall health impact decreasing by more than half since 1990.

What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at how high salt diets affect stomach cancer worldwide and found the same big drops in death rates and health problems that the claim mentioned. It supports the claim perfectly.
