And is there research or science that you've seen that's... There is a tremendous amount of research and science clearly documenting these links.

So let's build on what we were just talking about, obesity and mental health. Because there's a correlation there. Most people understand that nutrition is related to obesity. that what you're eating plays a role in obesity. I don't have to go to, I don't have to fight too hard to convince people of that.

So if we can assume that that is true, what you put in your mouth day to day plays a role in whether you have obesity or not. Once a child has, or an adult has obesity, they have no history of mental illness at all. They start out with obesity. Once you have obesity, you are at dramatically increased risk for a wide range of mental disorders. Really?

Nicotine use disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, essentially all of the mental health conditions, all of the major categories of mental health conditions that we have are included. So if you have obesity, you are at much higher risk of developing a wide range of mental health conditions. Wow.

If your parents have obesity, their offspring are at much greater risk of having neurodevelopmental disorders, meaning autism, ADHD, learning disorders, and others.

So honestly, the real details of that get down to what age is the person? Are they at an age where this disorder is more likely to occur or even be diagnosed or recognized? Sure. But the rates range anywhere from the low end is 50% more likely to have a mental health condition.

The high end is 350%, 3.5 times more likely to have mental health conditions, including things like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder.

So we have a really good longitudinal study of children. So researchers followed over 5,000 kids from birth to age 24. So even before they have obesity, they have insulin resistance, which we can measure. The children at age nine who had the highest levels of insulin resistance were five times more likely, it's 500% more likely to develop a psychotic disorder. Holy cow. By the time they were 24.
