Internet Doctors.

Let’s break this down honestly and practically, because this is a modern dilemma for many people, especially those in midlife and older who’ve witnessed health narratives shift dramatically over the last 20 years.

🌱 Why So Many Supplements & Diet Warnings on Social Media?

Social media amplifies extremes: Moderate, balanced advice rarely goes viral. What spreads are “miracle” cures, shocking food dangers, or magic supplements.

Content creators (including doctors) build personal brands. Even genuine professionals may overemphasize certain topics to gain engagement.

Modern health anxieties: With rising chronic diseases and poor lifestyles, people naturally seek answers. Supplements and food fear narratives fill that gap.

🎯 The Proper Perspective You Should Hold:

1️⃣ Most supplements are only needed when you have a deficiency.

Example: Magnesium is crucial — but if your diet, sleep, and health markers are fine, adding extra without reason won’t make you superhuman.

Cementum is not a supplement — perhaps you meant selenium or calcium? Similar rule applies.

2️⃣ Modern diets can lack certain micronutrients due to processed foods — so awareness is good.

It’s wise to know what’s in your diet, but paranoia helps no one.

Curcumin (from turmeric) has anti-inflammatory properties, but it's not a substitute for balanced meals, sleep, and movement.

3️⃣ Fear-based eating is unhealthy.

Avoiding rice, carbs, oils, or fruits entirely due to social media trends is unnecessary for most.

Even excess carbs aren’t a problem if your overall calorie intake, activity, and metabolic health are fine.

4️⃣ No need to blindly follow or totally avoid — be choosy and context-aware.

Listen to credible sources.

Check if the advice applies to your age, health condition, region, lifestyle.

Ask: Is this person selling a supplement or offering balanced, evidence-based guidance?

5️⃣ Core truth hasn't changed since your childhood:

Seasonal, regional, unprocessed food

Adequate sleep

Regular activity

Stress control

Medical checkups when needed

The rest is fine-tuning, not survival.

✅ My Practical Suggestion:

Don’t avoid health videos altogether.

Don’t follow every recommendation.

Curate your sources: Subscribe to 2–3 credible doctors or nutrition scientists who emphasize balance, not panic.

Be cautious of content that:

Promises quick fixes.

Demonizes single foods.

Pushes multiple supplements aggressively.

📌 In Short:

Health awareness is good. Food and supplement fear is not. Be selective, grounded, and stick to balanced, evidence-based guidance.
