the claim

Table salt intake causes acid reflux.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

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

Is it true that table salt intake causes acid reflux?

Partly. One case-control study reports that people who always add extra table salt have higher odds of reflux symptoms, while a small randomized trial in ten healthy men found high sodium intake did not increase gastro-oesophageal reflux. The evidence is mixed and only partial, since neither source settles causation in the general population.
