Sorry. And I know, I get excited about this product. And it's fun to have been with you since the beginning because I saw the future when you first described what this is to me. And describe to people, so there's a lot of, I'm trying to educate people about the notion of inflammation and oxidation. So there's a lot of,

marketing out there, oh, this is going to address inflammation, address inflammation. That means nothing. And thankfully, I think the FDA is going to get on that a little bit. But there are things that happen that can downstream lead to inflammatory cells coming in and cause trouble.

But before you get there, there's one of the important mechanisms is the oxidative state of the cells and what are called oxidative species. So tell people about that a little bit.

Well, let me just say, let me just say, let me interrupt you. I'm going to interrupt before you do. If this is too much, get the book. The book's coming out in March. Is that where we're out?

Okay, get the book because I'm going to gush a little bit at Stephanie. She is a great writer and she's a great science writer and she's great at making difficult, complicated science really easy to digest. So what we describe here today doesn't quite make sense to you. You forget it.

The whole history of how she got to this and this particular syndrome is discussed, their phenomenon, this chemistry is discussed in detail in the book. And have you always been a writer?

It's not inside anymore. It's in that book. I was like, wow, I wish I could write with this kind of clarity and fun. It's fun to read. It's compelling. So go ahead. Let's nerd out now.

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.
