And, you know, just in terms of we talked about triage theory in cancer, there are a variety of studies that have looked at these are observational studies. So it's always difficult to establish causation, of course, from observational data. But nonetheless, there are studies that have found a dose dependent effect of low magnesium.

So for every 100 milligram dose, but less 100 milligrams less intake per day. was associated with a 24% increase in pancreatic cancer incidence.
