Study design also plays a role in how risk is measured and presented (see transcripts at these links): https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-the-egg-board-designs-misleading-studies/

A bucket of salt is probably more healthy for you than listening to anything a site with "facts" in the name says.

And that's not even looking at who's behind that site and the wording they use.

Remember, breathing gives you an elevated risk of lungcancer.

After believing Dr. Gregor (the author of that site) for awhile, i don't believe or trust him anymore. He's a vegan and I think he's set on a vegan mission despite him claiming he's not.
