Well, what happens if there's 10 ferries or there's 50 ferries or there's 150 ferries?

At some point, they're going to be running into each other and you're just going to clog up that.

At some point, putting more vehicles into any pathway just makes things worse with the traffic that results.

And if you have too much traffic, you get accidents and train wrecks and car crashes and your mitochondria aren't good for you.

I think they could be synergistic.

CoQ10, by the way, it also helps you make more mitochondria, and that's called mitochondrial biogenesis.

Exercise also helps you make more mitochondria.

And I do think that you like, so you should never take CoQ10 as an excuse to not exercise because exercise is very specifically putting the mitochondria where they belong to meet the adaptation that you are stressing.

So that's mitochondrial biogenesis number one.

But CoQ10 will help with that.

You don't always want,

I do think like testing is another case where that might be a case where like you could use a high dose CoQ10 to try to stimulate more mitochondria if testing shows that you don't have enough and that's your like limiting bottleneck.

But the average person whose CoQ10 levels are just a little lower where they should be, it really is just acting as that, kind of like you open up the biochemistry textbook, you see the place of CoQ10 in the mitochondrial energy production pathways, and it's just doing the basic textbook thing of helping you move those electrons along on the path to convert food to ATP.

Seed oils make your tissues more vulnerable to damage, and they don't damage your tissues.

And so one of the problems that has caused a lot of controversy, and I think the reason there's so much back and forth over this,

is that it takes the right type of study to see seed oils making your tissues more vulnerable to damage because you need enough time for the damage to play out and you need people who are more vulnerable to the damage.

And we've been talking a lot today about how aging is increasing that tissue damage.

Like everything is, your repair capacity goes down as you grow older because your mitochondrial energy production is going down.

And one of the things you want to look at is

what do seed oils do to you by the time you're 75?
