The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
That's what Rhonda is trying to prove experimentally right now, but nobody's proven it yet, that what you do when you're short of magnesium, because of triage, you eliminate one of the DNA repair enzymes and put the magnesium in some more essential protein.

We think magnesium is one of those micronutrients where even though it's required for every DNA repair enzyme, you know, repairing your DNA isn't something that is required for short term survival.
the triage theory posits that in the face of limited magnesium the body will prioritize its use for enzymes involved in essential short-term survival such as enzymes like energy production this means that other processes that are vital for long-term Health like DNA repair might get less of this magnesium
