Medical research and clinical observations have highlighted the significant health risks associated with high sodium intake and the consumption of salted or dried foods. Initial findings from a long-term study involving nearly 500,000 people indicated that excessive salt and seasoning consumption can increase the risk of fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Specifically, those who always add salt to cooked food faced a 40% higher risk of fatty liver compared to those who rarely do so. High sodium intake was also linked to increased blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and kidney strain. Subsequent medical warnings have focused on the specific dangers of salted and dried fish. While fresh fish consumption is associated with reduced stroke and cardiovascular mortality, medical professionals noted that improper preparation can negate these benefits. Clinical reports from Jiangsu, China, documented a case where long-term consumption of salted, dried fish led to stage 3 stomach cancer and kidney failure, illustrating how these dietary habits can damage the stomach lining and cause organ damage. Recent health reports reinforce these warnings, noting that consuming excessive amounts of salted or dried fish remains a significant risk factor for stomach cancer and kidney damage. In contrast, fresh protein sources like tilapia are highlighted as highly nutritious and affordable; according to the USDA, 100g of tilapia contains 26g of protein, which surpasses the protein content found in salmon.
