Yeah. And so I think when I see some of these people, you know, so confidently saying, saying things that are just totally not true. Right. You know, so, you know, kind of the catch line on my video series is, if only we had human randomized control trials that actually, oh, wait, we have dozens.

Okay, well, here's all these studies that show the exact opposite, that it actually lowers inflammation. Yeah. Okay. So either there's one of two options here. Either you don't know this data exists, in which case you should not be talking, or two, you know it exists, it doesn't fit your bias, and so you don't care.

And honestly, a lot of the downstream stuff I've seen I'll give you an example of where stuff is counterintuitive and what can happen when this messaging, because human beings aren't robots. We've got all this weird wiring in our heads. I dealt with so many people who had disordered eating patterns from things they'd been told.

I have that. That's why people will say, when somebody says, sugar's toxic. I'll go, and I'll explain why not really. Now... In the volume with which I consume it, toxic, but... Well, you know, and people go, well, why are you defending sugar?

I'm not defending sugar, but I think it's important to understand, like, yeah, I don't think a diet high in sugar is a good idea, but it's not because sugar has, like, some inherent chemical property to it that's causing...
