Absolutely. Of the categories of things that at this point, based on what we've learned, I would not really eat anymore would be certain candies, which I'll go into each of these in more detail. cereals, certain cereals, soda for sure, fast food, and lots of common takeout. So when we look at candy, this is actually really interesting.

The worst food in our entire data set of 51 million glucose data points is Skittles.

Not surprising, because it's a refined carbohydrate. You know, obviously there's refined sugar in there, but it's also kind of a naked carb, right? It doesn't actually have fat, protein, and fiber. Like a Snickers bar at least has some fat and some protein. The Skittles are just like naked carbs. So the Skittles have an- Naked carbs.

They're just on their own, you know, like, and you can think of like fat, protein, and fiber as kind of clothing the carbs. So Skittles have an average glucose rise in our data set of 83 milligrams per deciliter. So that's certainly going to take you out.

Wow, that's huge.

Wow, that's huge.

Wow, that's huge.

It's way more than a Coca-Cola. And you are going to almost inevitably crash after that type of spike. Because of course, when you spike that high, you release all this insulin to soak up that glucose out of the bloodstream. And that huge surge of insulin can overshoot. The body responds sort of in an exaggerated way. You take up all that glucose.

And then people often dip to below their baseline and have that reactive hypoglycemia after the spike, which is when they feel shaky, tired, lethargic. Yeah, exactly.

The beauty of achieving more of the gentle rolling hills is that you don't end up having that reactive hypoglycemia that can make you feel really crappy, that post-meal slump that people are often like, oh, I just need a cup of coffee or something. It's like, no, it's the Skittles. The other candies that are in the worst
