    Endogenous Formation of Carcinogenic NNitrosamines from Dietary Nitrite: Mechanisms, Modulators, and Cancer Risk

    This review examines how dietary nitrite can contribute to the formation of N-nitrosamines and other N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) in the body. It explores the chemical and biological mechanisms involved, factors that may influence nitrosation, and the potential links with cancer risk. The paper also discusses dietary, microbial, and physiological modulators, differences in epidemiological findings across cancer types, and the limitations of current evidence.

    Successful Remission of Alopecia Areata and Seborrheic Dermatitis in a 21-Year-Old Male via Functional Nutrition and Advanced Diagnostics: A Case Report

    This case report explores how a personalised functional nutrition approach supported a 21-year-old male with alopecia areata and seborrheic dermatitis. Over three months, the plan included dietary changes, targeted supplements, topical care, and lifestyle improvements. Follow-up findings showed eyebrow regrowth, reduced dandruff, better digestion, sleep, energy, and concentration, along with improvements in vitamin D, homocysteine, insulin, and inflammatory markers.
