Are GMOs dangerous?

Foods like corn, soy, and canola oil are some of the most common genetically modified foods.

Currently, there’s no strong evidence linking GMOs to cancer in humans.

However, you can choose organic or non-GMO if you'd rather avoid them.

The diet most strongly linked to lower cancer risk is one focused on whole, minimally processed foods. 🍎🥦

Are you taking supplements but not seeing results? You might be making these common mistakes! 👇

❌ Mistake #1 – Taking the Wrong Form

Not all supplements are created equal! For example, magnesium citrate is great for constipation, but if you need it for muscle tension or relaxation, magnesium glycinate is better.

❌ Mistake #2 – Poor Absorption

Some vitamins need the right conditions to work! For example, iron absorbs better with vitamin C but poorly with coffee or calcium.

❌ Mistake #3 – Taking Too Many or the Wrong Combo

More isn’t always better! Some supplements compete for absorption, and taking too many can overwhelm your body. For example, long term zinc supplementation can reduce your copper levels.

❌ Mistake #4 – Low-Quality Supplements

Many brands contain fillers, additives, or lower-quality ingredients. I always recommend third-party tested supplements to ensure you’re getting what your body actually needs.

❌ Mistake #5 – Wrong Dosage

Too little = no effect. Too much = possible harm!
Vitamin D, for example, should be tailored to your blood levels—more isn’t always better!

✅ The right form, dose, and timing make all the difference!
