So I think it's important to understand this stuff because what I saw was people who believe this stuff, a lot of times would be the opposite outcome, which is they would completely try to abstain from this stuff, and guess what happens? they'd end up binge eating on this stuff and there'd be so much shame wrapped up in it and there'd be so much.

Well, I think that's the other thing that people don't realize. Food isn't just fuel. It's community. It's cultural. People want to talk about, we should ban ultra-processed foods. And I go, listen, the bullet is out of the gun. We're not putting it back in. We need to learn how to live with this. And so...

I try to help people understand, yeah, I don't think it's a good idea to eat a lot of sugar, but it's not because it's toxic. Because here's what happens when people believe that kind of stuff. there's no area for nuance or dosage, right? And also people do weird things like, well, I'm not going to eat fruit because sugar is toxic.

Yeah. And yeah, I can construct a narrative to make you afraid of anything. Yeah. Fat, carbohydrate, protein. I can construct those narratives. And again, what I saw so often was people trying to abstain from these things and ended up actually eating more of it because of it. And then when I kind of like, I'll never forget.
