Heavy Metal Contamination in Chocolates and Candies: Sources, Health Risks, and Analytical Insights
The presence of heavy metals in chocolates and candies poses growing public health concerns, particularly for children who are frequent consumers. This review consolidates evidence on the occurrence, sources, toxicological impacts, and analytical monitoring of metals, including Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cr, Ni, and Al, in confectionery products.

Removal of Toxic Metabolites—Chelation: Manganese Disorders
ABSTRACT Manganese (Mn) overload is a characteristic of multiple disease entities, from acquired manganism upon environmental or occupational overexposure, to end‐stage liver disease and certain genetic disorders. The latter include hypermanganesaemia with dystonia 1 and 2 caused by pathogenic variants in the genes encoding the Mn transporters SLC30A10

Mitochondrial Diseases: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Advances
Key pathogenic mechanisms—OXPHOS defects, heteroplasmy, impaired mtDNA repair, disrupted dynamics/mitophagy, and inflammatory signaling—drive multiorgan involvement in mitochondrial diseases. Targeted interventions include metabolic drugs (CoQ10, idebenone, EPI‐743), mitochondrial gene editing (DdCBE, mitoBEs, CyDENT/mitoTALEN/mtZFN), and mitochondrial
