Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that high table salt intake increases the risk of stomach cancer?

Unclear. Several meta-analyses and observational studies associate high salt or table salt intake with higher stomach cancer risk, including a pooled analysis finding always using table salt raised gastric cancer risk (aOR 1.33) and a meta-analysis of case-control studies (OR 1.55). However, these are observational associations, and one reference notes dietary causes are not proven and the association is weak.
