But it was those plus the kind of the composition of the diet, the base diet, which was getting rid of a lot of the stuff that that you have spoken to so eloquently, like the sugar-processed foods, you know, highly convenient shelf-stable stuff to stuff that looks like it was once grown in the ground, those types of decision-making.

Which, by the way, on my trip of the various countries that I had the privilege of visiting on this journey, I was amazed to see that, just as was in Britain,

At the turn of the 17th to the 18th century, the history was that the people that had the lowest incidence of chronic disease happened to be the people that were of the lower socioeconomic because they didn't have access to the white flour and white sugar. They had these rough breads that had all these... Peasant food. Exactly, peasant food.

And their cultural history outcome in terms of their health was much better than the aristocracy of people that had access to these other foods. And that's what I found similarly when I traveled the Med. is that people who eat those traditional diets. And in fact, there's a paper just published in Nature that is fascinating in Africa and Tanzania.

They studied Tanzanians that were eating the traditional African diet, which was things like fermented banana, and a very high plant-based diet versus people that have been moved in the same country over into the westernized diet. And they compared the health outcomes and the effects on the immune system. They studied immunological activities of all these subsets of immune cells.

And just as we would expect, the people that transition in Tanzania, with the same genes, transitioned to the Western diet. They got the genes of their immune system suddenly expressing inflammation, expressing high levels of lipoproteins that are associated with cardiovascular risk, with insulin resistance. Those that stayed on the traditional African diet

same genes, had these lower incidence of out. So this goes across all sorts of genotypes, all across different cultures, but there are certain principles that tie them together, whether you're living in Tanzania or you're living in Sardinia.

Well, my takeaway, and maybe it's because of my bias, but The thing that has changed the most in our diets is the addition of simple, rapid glycemic index products like starch and sugar. So that is added.
