Researchers from the George Institute for Global Health reported that replacing regular table salt with a potassium-enriched blend could avert up to 2.96 million deaths from heart disease, stroke and kidney disease each year, according to a study published in Nature Health, globally. Earlier coverage of the same research, cited by Gizmodo, NDTV and Newsweek, had estimated that the substitution could prevent roughly three million cardiovascular and kidney-related deaths worldwide, and highlighted potential reductions of millions of disease cases.

One claim regarding research by The George Institute on November 6, 2026, stating that replacing regular salt with potassium-enriched salt could prevent nearly three million deaths and reduce cardiovascular and kidney disease cases annually, was partially confirmed. A claim from November 5, 2026, about researchers estimating that switching to a potassium-enriched salt blend could prevent up to three million cardiovascular and kidney-related deaths each year globally, had not enough evidence. Another claim from November 6, 2026, referencing research in Nature Health estimating that replacing part of sodium chloride with potassium chloride in table salt could avert up to four lakh deaths and 15 lakh cases of cardiovascular and kidney diseases annually in India and nearly thirty lakh deaths worldwide, also had not enough evidence.
