And you've tested beforehand, so you really can't tell, right?

And so then you can measure acute reactions.

You can measure their artery function literally within hours of consumption.

And you can see what's happening in their cholesterol, what's happening.

And so then you can – so these are kind of – these are called –

surrogate endpoints.

So what we'd like to know is let's randomize people to these smoothies for 10 years and see who actually dies and who doesn't.

Okay, you can see how logistically that's difficult to do.

But what we can do is we know that, you know, the amount of cholesterol in our blood is a really good indicator, a risk factor for, you know, heart disease.

And so anything that lowers cholesterol, ah, okay, so we have the observational evidence showing

Decreased risk of heart disease among non-eaters.

And then we have this short-term data showing, look, it improves artery function, decreases cholesterol.

No wonder we're seeing these endpoints in the opposite.

So you put all the evidence together, you're like, wow, nuts really appear to be healthy foods, right?

That's how you do this kind of research.

So fascinating.

This is fascinating.

Legumes, nuts, no salt.

No salt.

Unsalted.
