Not all genetic disorders can be prevented, but prenatal testing, genetic counselling, and carrier screening can help reduce risks and guide informed decisions.

What factors contribute to cancer in children?

The exact causes of childhood cancer are unknown, but most cases are believed to result from random genetic mutations, not lifestyle or environmental factors.

Vegetarians may lack B12, iron, zinc, and omega-3s, but these deficiencies can be managed with proper dietary planning and supplements.
