The Claim
In a population of Chinese adults aged 18–69 with high dietary sodium intake from home-cooked meals, consistent use of a 2-g salt-restriction spoon over 3 years was associated with a 3.49 mmol/mmol greater reduction in 24-hour urinary Na+/K+ ratio compared to non-users, suggesting that the spoon is a practical tool for reducing sodium intake in cooking settings.
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.
People in China who used a special spoon that measures exactly 2 grams of salt while cooking for three years ended up excreting less salt in their urine than those who didn’t use it—meaning the spoon helped them eat less salt.

What the research says
1 studyPeople in the study who used a special spoon that measures exactly 2 grams of salt ended up with much less salt in their urine after three years, meaning they ate less salt — and this was because they used the spoon while cooking.
