But the overall effect is it's an anticoagulant.

So we have to be very careful.

And that's, as you've seen, there's a lot of content out there now that it's, well, this thing is in this food and it's going to cause this.

And it's like, I mean, I saw something about cruciferous vegetables, right?

Like don't eat those because they have isocyanthanates and that's going to bind to iodine.

That's going to lower your thyroid function and that's going to cause your metabolic rate to drop and you're going to gain weight.

I'm like, wow, we, we kind of skipped over B, C, D, E, F, G and went from A to Z, didn't we?

And, and,

That's a pathway.

That's a biochemical mechanism.

Does it all exist and is it all at least partially true?

Yeah.

But what happens in studies where we just have people eat more cruciferous vegetables?

It doesn't impact their thyroid function at all.

It doesn't impact their metabolic rate.

And if anything, they lose more weight from satiety.

So obviously we can say, OK, well, that pathway exists.

But it's obviously not a dominant pathway or even something that really makes a difference based on dosage and all these other things.

So bringing it back to the protein question.

You're familiar with an asymptote.
