But isn't there something to the colorants and the flavorants and the gelling agents, et cetera, that could be separate from all this? And he, in his analysis, said if I parse that out in the data that I'm looking at, that has an additive effect. All these other things. And he's made a big case for it. And people are publishing papers on it all the time.

The American Heart Association has a scientific advisory on this. And I've seen the table. It's in our advisory. There's 150 different molecules in this list that come into the different categories. And if you look through the whole list, you would be a little shocked. So for one thing, turmeric is in the list of colorants. So technically, turmeric could move you into the ultra-processed category.

But turmeric is full of curcumin, and people are really excited about the possible health benefits of turmeric. Pectin is in there. People have used pectin for years to make jams and jellies and things like that.

And there's some horrific names that you can't even pronounce in this thing, which I've looked for in foods, and I can't find many of the horrifically named things in any real foods that people eat. Anyway, there's 150 chemicals in this list. And it's really intuitively appealing. It's like there must be something beyond just these nutrients. Oh, my God, the food industry is out of whack here.

And if we could pull in one other term, it's grass, generally recognized as safe. And so decades and decades ago, the FDA said, wow, there's a lot of these things that the food industry is putting in foods. To do an appropriate test to see if this would harm humans – is really not feasible.

Plus, in my world, I can't really do studies where I'm going to harm people, but I need you to sign up and your staff, and I'm going to randomize you to see who I hurt first. And once I know who I hurt, I'll know if I need to remove this from the food. So they'll do it in mice, or they'll do it in rats, or they'll do it in a petri dish to see if it's plausible.

And at one point, there were 800 of these grass items, and I think it's grown to 10,000 There's a whole bunch of ingredients that the food industry can put into foods because of this grass sort of byline, this option that's certainly problematic. So we have the NOVA list of these additives. He calls them cosmetic additives. Let's pause just for a minute to think of that name.
