Yeah, that's actually, that's a really good question. I kind of break it into three categories. Category one is, while we pay attention to individual toxins and know a lot about the disease caused by individual toxins, number one priority is total byload of toxins. How much arsenic do you have? How much lead do you have? How much bisphenols do you have? How much phthalates do you have? Et cetera.

Because what happens is all the toxins cause oxidative stress and deplete glutathione from the body. Glutathione is the most important antioxidant in your body, but more importantly, it's a key way we protect our mitochondria. and the longest living people with the least disease at the highest levels of glutathione.

If you quit glutathione, your mitochondria die, and you die sooner and have more disease. Yeah. Okay, so you got decreased total load. Then we look at, okay, so now what do the toxins do individually? So they can range from, this is where classically the main problem with toxins is, they displace nutrients from the body.

So for example, any enzyme that depends upon calcium in the body, they have high levels of lead, it displaces the calcium from the enzyme so they don't work properly. So they basically poison enzymes. Why is that important? Bodies are enzyme machines. What about enzymes on machines? Enzymes aren't working, our machines aren't working, and we get sick. That's number one.

Direct poisoning of the enzymes by the toxic.

Yes, exactly. Very well said, Mark. Exactly that's what happens. And going on with what you said about DNA, in the second area, or third area now, that's a huge problem after the toxins is they damage our DNA.

So when you look at the research on the correlation between a bile of a particular toxin and a particular disease we're looking at, if you do it according to age, you don't see very many correlations until about the age of 50. Because up until about the age of 50, our body is pretty able to adapt to the damage from the toxin and work around it.
