Can glutathione cause cancer?

A friend recommended glutathione for skin brightening, but I saw something online that linked it to cancer risk. Can glutathione cause cancer, or is that just a rumor?

Bro, my sleep cycle is so messed up I look like a ghost, so I researched glutathione for skin glow. There is no proof it causes cancer, it's actually an antioxidant. But honestly, high doses without prescription are just stupid.

Hey, don't stress too much about this! Glutathione is naturally made by our body, so it doesn't cause cancer. Just don't go taking high-dose IV drips from random beauty clinics without consulting a real dermatologist.

I have to be very careful with what I put in my body because of my diabetes. Glutathione is generally safe and helps reduce oxidative stress, but always check with your doctor before starting any supplement, especially if you have other health issues.

Instead of supplements, I focus on a sulfur-rich vegetarian diet like broccoli, garlic, and onions which help the body make its own glutathione safely. Synthetic supplements can sometimes overload your system, so ask a dietitian.

I track my supplements on my fitness app, and glutathione is mostly used for detox and skin health. There is no clinical data linking it to cancer risk. Just make sure you buy certified brands and don't abuse the dosage.

I was just reading about this yesterday. Actually, glutathione is an antioxidant that protects cells, so it doesn't cause cancer. But some studies say high doses might help existing cancer cells survive, so always consult a doc first.

Why go for these chemical pills and injections? Eating fresh fruits and amla naturally boosts glutathione in the body. If you are having severe health issues or taking treatment, please go to a proper hospital and don't self-medicate.
