The Claim
Meta-regression analysis of prospective studies indicates that salt intake is more strongly associated with gastric cancer risk in Japanese populations than in other populations.
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 the chance of stomach cancer more for Japanese people than for others, according to big studies that looked at many groups over time.
