That's BMI, high blood pressure, triglycerides, inflammation, all of that. I mean, all these metabolic disorders that we're suffering from. Oral health contributes to all of that. It is very, very tied into it. So it's Alzheimer's. There's a connection now between high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis. This oral systemic connection
