This is reference information, not personal advice. Nutrient content is one small part of a diet, and no single food prevents or treats disease. If you are pregnant, managing a medical condition, or taking medication — particularly anticoagulants, thyroid medication or immunosuppressants, where diet can interact — ask your doctor or pharmacist before making changes.
