Food Sensitivities

Purity means being free from contaminants, but in real life it is a measurable, context-specific standard, not a vague marketing claim. This guide explains how purity is defined and tested across supplements, foods, water, and consumer products, why it matters for health and performance, and how to make practical, evidence-based choices.

Seed oils are widely used cooking fats made from plant seeds, often refined for stability and neutral flavor.

This guide covers how gluten behaves in the body, who should avoid it, practical food and label guidance, and what modern research supports.

Oxalates are natural compounds found in many plant foods that can bind minerals like calcium and influence nutrient absorption, kidney stone risk, and symptoms in susceptible people.
