The mm food app empowers you to enjoy coastal cuisine safely by identifying hidden TMAU triggers and translating foreign menus instantly. Here’s how to dine worry-free:

Understanding TMAU and Seafood Risks

TMAU requires avoiding high-choline and sulfur-rich foods like fish, crustaceans, and certain sauces. Coastal menus often feature these ingredients, making navigation tricky. Common culprits include anchovy-based dressings, oyster sauces, and dishes cooked with fish stock.
