I think garlic. Garlic, the beta-mercaptans in garlic as well. But back to the omega-3 and this study I was talking about from Bill Harris is so interesting because he also, this is a huge cohort of people, the Framingham, there's people that have all sorts of lifestyles, including smoking. Right. And so he did a sub-analysis looking at smokers and non-smokers and their omega-3 index.

And what Bill and his associates and colleagues found was that smokers with a high level of omega-3, so they had a high omega-3 index of 8%, they had the same mortality rate. as non-smokers with a low omega-3 index.

Or if you're not getting enough omega-3, it's like smoking, right? I mean, if you look at the graph of this, I mean, it's incredible. The overlay is perfect.

So having a low omega-3 index had the same mortality risk as smoking.

Yes, yes. And, you know, there's also been a whole host of randomized controlled trials looking at omega-3s being cardioprotective, right? So they're very important for cardiovascular health, triglycerides.

Right. Yeah. And you mentioned inflammation. So this is another thing. They play a major role in lowering inflammation. And so that's a driver of aging in many ways, brain aging, cardiovascular aging. So omega-3s are, I would say, one of the most profound lifestyle factors that can play a role in negating inflammation aside from exercise. Right.

That's also very much in line with Bruce's triage theory, right? These micronutrients are running our metabolism, which runs everything from our heart pumping blood to neurotransmitter function to repairing DNA. So there's a lot of, you know, you can look in the mirror and if you're vitamin C deficient and your gums start falling apart, you can see, oh, I've got scurvy.

But when you're magnesium deficient, you're not going to see DNA damage happening.
