Mechanism. And finally, mostly plants. Well, don't forget Coke, Oreos, and Doritos are all vegan. So I had to come in at fewer words than seven. So I said, protect the liver, feed the gut. I lied. There are three more words. Support the brain.

And I thought about it and I thought about it. Do I want to put this in the book? Do I want to put this in the book? If I do this, it's going to increase the number of chapters by four and it's already 416 pages. Do I really need this? And I decided, you know what? Save it for the next book. But there's actually nine words. Protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain.

And if we stay below that, it doesn't do too much damage. If we go above it, different story. Same thing with sugar. Same thing with this molecule, the sweet molecule, fructose.
