If you read every internet warning, even drinking water might look risky! Relax, the big warnings are mostly based on lab tests on rats, not humans. Just follow your doctor's rules and stop googling at midnight.

While keeping our diet clean and eating fresh home-cooked meals is always the priority, we cannot ignore medical warnings. If you have any personal or family history of endocrine tumors, tell your doctor before taking this.
