Assess, avoid or swap. The third A is add, which is the nutrition that humans are not getting over millions of years that we are deficient on, which I would hope you would agree with. Vitamin D, Magnesium, some of the B vitamins. Because we're not eating them. Exactly.

But here's the thing. These chemicals have also been shown to affect DNA methylation, which is how genes are expressed, the epigenetics of our genes. I mean, we didn't get into more mechanisms, but I'm happy to go there. I think epigenetics is out of your scope.

The idea that we are also exposed to chemicals that can affect gene expression is something that should really be looked at hard and fast. We have a lot of data on this. So it's not just taking away triggers or components that could really irritate the immune system, the endocrine system. It's also how do we offset with certain nutrients that we know offset DNA methylation and epigenetic changes.

I think I have a really good point for all of us to end on this exact topic. And that's currently our administration has been talking about making America healthy and all these statements by talking about foods, but our budgets to do all the research that you're saying is required. And I think we all agree is required. It needs to continue.

I've never said wait for Godot. You know, my argument has always been, listen again, back to precautionary principle. You can take red dye number three out and we can all clap. We have, six potential PFAS chemicals in our drinking water system that was put on hold from being managed in our drinking water system, which by the way only manages 91 chemicals since 1974, Safe Drinking Water Act.
