And when we took it to ketogenic and Mediterranean, they both lowered glycosylated hemoglobin. The keto had a worse effect on LDL, but a better effect on triglycerides.

And so as you're working through these questions, those are the subtle nuances in nutrition that you just said the poor public, and I agree, looks at so many of these and says, oh, my God, you guys can't agree. Can I go back to the fact that I've actually helped American Diabetes with their guidelines. I work a lot with the American Heart Association.

And what's fun for me personally, why I get up in the morning and stay up late at night, is the way you do science around food is fascinating and complicated. And the reason I'm on your show today is because I think if we had more of an opportunity to explain some of these subtle nuances, people would understand that the extremes probably aren't going to help you.
