This was concurrent to us drinking less whole fat milk, eating less whole fat dairy products.

At the same time, we were decreasing our C15 levels and our primary source of C15 is dairy fat.

And so as we've been told to decrease our levels of all saturated fats, we decreased our levels of C15.

So back in 1950, average American drank two cups of whole fat milk a

Today, it's less than a quarter cup.

Women's breast milk has half the amount of C15 than it did just 20 years ago.

You know, kids that are between two to five years old are now down to getting zero to 63 milligrams of C15 when they used to get 200 to 250.

So we've driven entire generational decline in C15 levels.

What we're seeing as the result of that is that nutritional deficiency, which we shared with the cellular fragility syndrome, increasing robust support, knowing that lower RC15, the higher our risk of developing type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, and just as importantly,

putting c15 back into our system helps to reverse these conditions and this whole new form of cell death right called for optosis which we think it is the definition of a c15 deficiency disease list is like vitamin c deficiency in sagurvi and vitamin d deficiency in rickets like we should shouldn't be in a situation of of uh you know nutritional deficiencies in uh you know in this day and age and it is the first nutritional deficiency identified in what like 75 years

That's right.

That's right.

I mean, we had to work hard to get this.

I mean, it had to be global long-term held recommendations, followed recommendations to decrease one of probably, possibly one of the most important nutrients, especially for children.

so it's a big reason why even though the navy initially developed had us develop this pure c15 supplement was to help actually to help the navy dolphins get c15 back we're now realizing that you know we are it's just as important for humans too we've got to get our c15 levels back up to speed pay attention to the the science

Yeah, exactly.

I just noticed a comment with regard to the beef tallow conversation.

You know, C15 is also in beef tallow.

That C15, C7, these odd chain saturated fats were actually first discovered by a contest from Napoleon, who was looking for a cheaper version of butter during the war.

And they came up with beef tallow, called it margarine for margaric acid, which is actually C17.
