The Claim
Ingestion of 0.7% or 0.9% sodium chloride solutions results in a net fluid balance that is 211–329 mL greater compared to water in resting, euhydrated young men, due to reduced urine output and maintenance of plasma osmolality.
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.
If young, healthy guys at rest drink salty water (with 0.7% or 0.9% salt), they hold onto more fluid than if they drank plain water—because they pee less and their body fluids stay balanced.
