say, people in the U.S.

So we just don't have the same community that is probably handling diverse foods and probably making essential ingredients for our health that we're now missing.

So we probably need to restore that in some fashion.

Otherwise, this obesity and diabetes trend is just going to continue.

By the way, some of this has been broken down of, say, how much is your microbiome for general glucose levels versus genetics.

And I think for the general...

Microbiome, it's about 20 to 30%, depends on the cohort that was studied.

There's some work from the Weissman.

And then for genetics, it may be about 20% as well.

No, the other way around.

Sorry.

Of your glucose levels, 20%, 20% to 30% is determined by your microbiome and about 20% by your genetics.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is.

So as you're alluding to, fiber is very heterogeneous, very different.

And we even break it down further than that.

You're probably thinking of soluble versus insoluble or resistant starch versus starch.

But I look at fiber as like just a giant community of different substrates, if you will.

So we have long chain, short chains, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, positive, negative.
