“In a randomized Australian trial, regular sunscreen use reduced invasive melanoma incidence during long-term follow-up. Dr. Patrick also discusses vitamin D in relation to cancer risk, particularly when correcting low vitamin D status.”

“Vitamin D is Dr. Patrick's second priority because sun-derived production varies with age, skin pigmentation, latitude, clothing, and sunscreen use. Her third choice, sulforaphane, is formed from glucoraphanin in cruciferous vegetables and activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways.”

“The finding adds to evidence that adequate micronutrient intake may support cognitive resilience with age. Dr. Patrick also discusses vitamin D, omega-3s, ubiquinol, and sulforaphane in the context of her father's Parkinson's disease, medication use, and her mother's experience.”

“Smoking decreases beneficial nutrients in breast milk such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, Vitamin E, and iodine. In addition, smoking introduces harmful compounds in breast milk such as nicotine, inflammatory compounds, and toxic metals.”
