I'm going to stop you because you and I, you packed a little bit in there. So oxygen has some free electrons flying around and the double bond that she's talking about is some extra electrons there and the oxygen can kind of either bind to them or can steal them or the fatty acid can steal them. This is chemistry. This is organic chemistry, sort of one-on-one.

But that's why there is some liability there.

What she just did in that sentence is an entire chapter in the book. So you can go read the details there. But I also want to say that, you know, so the... I mentioned something about oxidized species at the beginning of this conversation, which is essentially oxygens that have become free radicals.

They're trying to get electrons and the ones that come in there attack, not just, correct me if I'm right about this, not just the cell membrane itself, but also the mitochondrial membranes within the cell.

Well, that's what I wanted to say. And that's people, you know, the feroptosis is, I don't know if it's accelerating aging or part of aging or whatever it is, you can intervene on it. You know, you can slow this thing down. You can prevent it. You can, you know, I happen to, I don't know if you have this data yet, but I happen to be,

of the opinion is the first time we can really affect longevity with supplements. This is a new era of this kind of thing. And I'm convinced that fatty can do that. Do you have the data to show that yet?

There's no doubt in my mind. And I take it not because I think I'm deficient, because I'm convinced it's a longevity molecule. I really think that the oxidative state of the cell and addressing the oxidized species, you called them reactive species or something. We're all talking about the same thing. This is the... This is what we need to go at. We can go at it now.

And so I'm just a huge, huge fan. So where do you want people to go? What's coming next? What do you want people to do with this other than buy the book in March or pre-order it now?

Great. Some of that's in the book too, right? I mean, it's, it's, it's there for people to look at when the book comes out. And, uh, I have no doubt. I mean, look, the, when people talk about, um, I mean, in our field, they talk about hydrophilia and lipophilia and the brain is highly lipophilic because it's a bunch of membranes. It's just a ton of membranes in the brain.

And so the membranes become a key piece of the health.
