“Nitrate free” bacon isn’t meaningfully healthier because it typically still contains natural nitrates (often from celery juice powder) that convert to nitrites and can form DNA-damaging nitrosamines in the stomach or during high-heat cooking. What matters more for risk is that bacon is still processed meat (a WHO Group 1 carcinogen) — plus how often ...
Magnesium is essential for hundreds of bodily functions, but not all supplements are created equal. Here is the evidence-based breakdown of how citrate and glycinate affect your digestion, sleep, and absorption differently. “Patients often grab the first magnesium bottle they see, not realizing that the molecule attached to the magnesium dictates where it goes in ...

Learn how to tell which type you have and what actually works, ...
Red and near‑infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) may lead to small, body‑contouring reductions in waist, hip, or thigh measurements—typically measured in centimeters—by stimulating mitochondrial energy production and influencing how fat cells release stored fat, but it has not been shown to produce large or consistent drops in body weight or BMI. Here’s what the research really ...
