Have you used AI to support you with your health?

I think AI is a wonderful tool if it is used in the right way BUT my number 1 rule is to only use it when you will know if it has given you the right output. For example, I wouldn't use it for writing a contract for example, I don't understand all the legal aspects of what it creates.

Here is what I said to the World Cancer Research Fund ahead of their campaign this week.

So what have you learnt this week about cancer prevention and supplements?

Let me know in the comments what your key take aways are or if you have any questions

Did you know supplements can cause harm?

It's best to check with a Registered Nutritionist, dietitian or pharmacist before taking supplements. And remember to mention any supplements you are taking to your GP so they can check for any interactions with medications.

Some supplements contain far more nutrient than you need. We would always recommend a food first approach were possible.

Supplements aren't all bad. In fact, there are some groups of people who should have supplements. We are all recommended to have a vitamin D supplement in the autumn and winter months in the UK for example. And there are other groups who need more.

If you want more information, drop me a DM.

Calcium is an essential nutrient BUT supplements aren't the answer for cancer prevention.

Calcium can affect the absorption of iron so it is important to make sure any supplements are taken at the right time. AND you need to have enough vitamin D to absorb the calcium properly too.

As ever, nutrition is far more complex than single nutrients.

What about supplements and cancer prevention?

It would be wonderful if we could do something as simple as take a pill to prevent cancer. As someone who has family and friends living with cancer that would be AMAZING. And misinformation is spreading about supplements and cancer prevention.

There is a lot of confusion about fortified foods - especially in the debate around ultra processed foods. Fortified foods can be really helpful in getting the nutrition we need but they are not the same as supplements.
