What's the buzz on food intolerance testing? 🗣️
Food-sensitivity blood tests can save you from exposure to harmful ingredients. But could they be needlessly limiting your food choices?

What does the science say?
Some food allergies are easy to detect with skin tests conducted by a doctor, but others take legwork such as blood work, tracking symptoms, and temporarily eliminating some ingredients from your diet.

Most at-home kits detect Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, which, according to the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) organization, are actually normally occurring in allergic and non-allergic people in response to eating food.

What's the takeaway?
1️⃣ If you choose to use an at-home test, work with a trained health care professional to help you identify which of the foods may be causing symptoms by guiding you through an elimination diet and eventually reintroduction of foods.

2️⃣ The best way to know whether you have an allergy or intolerance is to head to your doctor.

While folks are out there generating “AI slop,” you could be bringing AI into your kitchen to help you cook smarter, waste less, and elevate your kitchen confidence. We're not talking smart fridges here. Try these 5 ideas out for size:

1️⃣ Ask for a meal plan. And throw in a shopping list while you're at it to streamline life's admin work!

2️⃣ Reduce waste. Don't toss it! Ask for creative ways to repurpose leftovers or ideas for utilizing what's in your fridge.

3️⃣ Seek clarification. Ask to help decipher a family recipe you just can't make sense of!

4️⃣ Help plan for dietary needs. Ask for suggestions on altering recipes to offer dietary flexibility. Follow up by asking why it made the changes it did to check the logic and learn more at the same time.

5️⃣ Get assistance. You can often use smart assistants on your mobile or smart home devices to do things when your hands are busy or dirty. Think: walking through steps of a recipe, setting a timer, or converting measurements.

Some important clarifications:

▶️ AI may not always get it right, so make sure you double-check answers to ensure recommendations are appropriate, especially when dealing with dietary restrictions.

▶️ AI really cannot replace cooking skills, just enhance them.

Could multivitamins lead your health astray? While the nutritional boost once seemed like a no-brainer, multivitamins have been at the center of controversy over the years, leaving many people questioning their health value. Our dietitians break down the buzz! 👇

What does the science say?

In most cases, vitamins appear to have a neutral effect. One study shows no increase or decrease in risk of death from cancer or cardiovascular disease among people who took multivitamins.

There have even been cases where vitamin and mineral supplements proved to be more harmful than helpful, such as beta-carotene supplementation actually increasing lung cancer risks in men who smoke! And some vitamins may also interfere with certain medications and medical treatments.

Key takeaways:

💸 A daily vitamin is not harmful as long as doses are within the recommended range, but they don't provide much benefit.

🥕 Most people can get everything they need from food by eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean and/or plant-based proteins, along with some healthy fats.

👩‍⚕️ Always consult with a physician before starting a new supplement.
