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

Is it true that most American adults consume less potassium than the recommended adequate intake?

Yes. A 2009 NHANES analysis reports that less than 3% of the US population consumed the recommended level or more of potassium, and the CDC states most Americans eat too little potassium. Other sources note low potassium intake in subgroups, consistent with most adults falling short of the adequate intake.
