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.

Okay, your taste buds. And what are your taste buds? They're neuroactive receptors of information from your diet, right? The signals that are coming from your diet. What are those signals? Those signals are something in that

that plant right those are molecules in the plant okay now i'm going to give you a little factoid you may be unaware of so what is the molecule that produces the flavoring of dill And the flavoring of spearmint. It's the same molecule.

It's called carvone. Now, here is the point of my story. It turns out the only difference between the carvone that's in dill and the carvone that's in spearmint is the way that it rotates plane polarized light. One rotates plane polarized light to the right. The other rotates plane polarized light to the left. That's called R and S carbone. That's a chemical nomenclature.

They only differ by their handedness. One is right hand. Yes. To the extent that you would never dismiss the mistake experiment. Think of that for a moment as it relates to the information that our body's receiving. It is so precise that it's down to the ability to rotate plane polarized light in its specificity. So we just say flavonoids are antioxidants. That's BS.
