And I actually never got those decks of data. It's not even part of the study. So jumping to the end, when we finished this study, the vegans lost a little weight more than the other group, and they lowered their LDL cholesterol, and they lowered their fasting insulin in the main paper that got published in JAMA Network Open.

On the side, because we measured a ton of crap, and now this has to be anecdotal and exploratory because it wasn't the main outcome. LDL was the main outcome on clinicaltrails.gov. A group that does telomere length and epigenetic clocks published a whole separate paper, and the vegans, according to the biological clocks...

were younger than their omnivorous twins just eight weeks later by epigenetic clocks. Not my specialty. How much younger? It wasn't even, so you can't even, it's statistically significant. So it's not like in eight weeks you got four years younger. It's more like statistically significant. And their telomere caps were longer. In just eight weeks.

Sure, sure, sure. So on all our chromosomes, there's sort of a hot new topic, which is there's these protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes. And as we age, they shorten. And some people are sort of looking at biological age versus chronological age. And it would be a good thing to have a longer telomere cap on the ends of your chromosomes. And I said, no way in eight weeks. They were.

So both of those were statistically significant. And just as a side note, that's a little bit fun. How familiar are you with altmetric scores? I mean, in terms of paper recognition. Yeah. So the altmetric score for the listeners is my currency and yours as an academic is like how many people cite our work. If no one cited it, who cares? Yeah. And it takes a while.

It could take like five or ten years for people to cite your work. The altmetric score is all based on social and traditional media. So it appears the week that your paper comes out. And there's some correlation. If you've got a lot of media coverage, maybe it will get cited later on. So the funny thing is a good altmetric score, if you Google it, is 20.

The JAMA Network Open Paper had an altmetric score of 2,000, the main paper. The biological clock, epigenetic data, and the telomere length had an altmetric score of 3,000. It was more widely broadcast than the main paper. The Sonnenbergs have another paper under review right now, and I can say this because it's already been published preprint. The vegans had better microbiome results.
