Absolutely. So let me say one more thing to that. If you go to Google or wherever you want to search and ask, what is the historic value of these bioflavonoids or polyphenols in your diet? What it will say, I think,

Okay, that's what you say. That's not what Chad TTP will say. It will say... that they're antioxidants. That'll be the first thing it says. Now, I can tell you I'm an expert in antioxidants. I think I fulfill that criteria. I started in the 70s and doing research and publishing papers. And I have always questioned whether that was the adequate explanation for how these flavonoids work.

Now, it is true that they're antioxidants. It is true they'll soak up oxygen radicals. To me, it never seemed like an adequate explanation because Albert St. Georgi, who won a Nobel Prize, as you know, in chemistry for his discovery of vitamin C, he developed the concept of the guinea pig as the test animal. Do you know the story about that?

That's right. And so what happened when he did look for a marker organism that he could test anti-scorbutic, anti-scurvy effects, he chose a guinea pig because it has this genetic aberration that we have, a gene that doesn't allow us to make vitamin C, which like other animals, including the goat, can make vitamin C in their liver.

In fact, the goat makes over almost a gram a day of vitamin C in its own liver. So he chose the guinea pig. And so he was able to show by taking paprika and extracting it, because it's very high in vitamin C, and he was the first guy to form crystalline vitamin C and gave it to the guinea pig and treated scurvy for the first time in the guinea pig model of scurvy.

However, and this is a point that most people don't know, that if he used the ultra-pure vitamin C, he only got the guinea pigs almost well. But they weren't totally well. The only way they could get totally well was to give them the impure vitamin C that had kind of an orange color to it. like it had impurities from paprika. It wasn't purely crystalline white. And then they got well.

What do you think that stuff was coloring the vitamin C? It was flavonoids. He called it vitamin P for permeability because it prevented capillary permeability. Then people said, well, it's not really a vitamin, so let's call it substance P. Then that got degraded to where it kind of completely got lost. He was the first person to start talking about

actual specific effects of a flavonoid on a health outcome. Now, let me give you another example. So, you know dill. I think any person can detect the difference between dill and spearmint.
