But I am here to bring awareness to where there may be risk. There was a New England Journal of Medicine paper that came out recently. They took a look at people who were undergoing a carotid endarterectomy. So they were removing the plaque because these are people who are at risk for a stroke. They're surgically removing the plaque in their carotid artery, which is up in their neck.

So they peel this plaque off and then they sent it out and they looked under a microscope. Not everyone had a high concentration of carotid. microplastics, or like really truly the proper language is nanoplastics. These are plastics that the particle size is so small, you will only see it under a microscope. Not everyone had a high concentration, but many of them did.

And among these people that had a high concentration of nanoplastics stuck in the wall of the plaque that is in their neck artery. What they found, okay, look, that has been removed. But then they tracked these people and they saw that they were at a significantly higher risk of having a heart attack, having a stroke, dying from cardiovascular disease in the years that followed.

Cans. So let's go through it. So we have the sugar sweetened soda beverage.

We'll throw juice right after that. All right. Now we're going to go to the artificially sweetened soda beverage. Still has the microplastic issue. Still concerned about that because there's acidity in there. And in terms of artificial sweeteners, I know people get big feelings about these things. All right.

But artificial sweeteners with total clarity, total clarity, come into contact with the gut microbiome because the vast majority of them are not absorbed. So they come into contact with the gut microbiome. They change the gut microbiome.

And then the result of this is now the way that your gut microbiome interacts with you and your food is slightly different as a result of that artificial sweetener. There are concerns that exist. Is that worse than sugar? I would say no.
