Like, not because they are getting off of their Coke habit, but because they, like, diet Coke for whatever reason.

Maybe it's the caffeine.

Maybe something about the taste.

I don't know what it is, but those people exist.

Sure.

So diet Coke a day, you know –

What is that?

Do you feel confident that... You talked a lot about the aspartame data, and it definitely seems a little bit all over the place.

Cancer does take, of course, decades to occur, and there's a cumulative damage, and dose may matter, maybe one a day.

But is there an uncertainty there that you might say, well, maybe we don't really know at the end of the day?

You drink a Diet Coke a day and not feel like you're increasing your mortality or cancer?

Like the carnivore diet.

I definitely want to talk to you about that.

You talked about it a little bit.

You know, it's kind of like the seed oil thing, you know, where it's like you've taken it head on.

And I like talking about it.

I really want to talk about it with you because I don't think people can accuse you as the anti-meat guy, clearly.

There's clearly a lot of people that experience benefits from going on a carnivore diet, an all-meat diet.

I also hear them say things like plants are bad for you.

You mentioned that.
