So this is a petrochemical industrial product.

And we know that these petrochemicals have massive effects on human health, like any other, quote, toxins.

They affect endocrine function or endocrine disruptors.

They can cause autoimmunity.

They can cause obesity.

They can cause cancer.

I mean, there's a range of effects of toxins.

I mean, one in five women have hypothyroidism.

That's 20% of women.

And it's impressive that the FDA actually finally recognized this as a, as a, uh, a real thing.

They acknowledge the breast implant illness in 2020 as a real condition.
