Shrimp can be part of a healthy diet, but it's important to consume them in moderation if you’re concerned about cholesterol. Shrimp are relatively low in saturated fat and high in cholesterol compared to other seafood, but their impact on blood cholesterol levels is still debated.

Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Moderation: Eating shrimp in moderation is key. For most people, consuming shrimp 1-2 times per week is considered safe and won't significantly impact cholesterol levels. This typically translates to about 3-6 ounces (85-170 grams) of shrimp per serving.

Multi-cancer early detection (MCED): An advancement in cancer screening

Detecting cancer early enough can make a difference to increase the chances of successful treatment. Cancer can affect any of us no matter age, gender or race. 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men will develop cancer in their lifetime.

Cancer can start in many different parts of the body, like the lungs, colon or stomach. As tumor cells grow, they shed fragments of DNA into the blood known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). These ctDNAs contain evidence of gene alterations and their profiles are often characteristic of the organ from which they originated. Viruses such as Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) are known to be associated with cancer proliferation. After the virus infection, the parts of the viral DNA integrate with the individual’s DNA, making changes to the instructions on cell growth, and paving the potential onset of uncontrolled growth in the body.
