Kiwi Fruit and DNA Protection: Fact vs. Fiction

🎯 Reality Check: Sketchy 🚩

📝 Why: Kiwis are full of antioxidants and vitamin C, and some small human studies found they can slightly reduce DNA damage (we’re talking about 8-15%, not 60%). There is no strong evidence in big populations or official recommendations that eating one kiwi a day will protect DNA by 60%—that number is unsubstantiated.
