Many times I look at these ingredient lists, I don't even know what these things are. So you have to figure that out. So this is where I think like keeping it simple becomes very important.

And it evolved to where they started to ask the question, like among humans, what happens? And actually there was a study done in France where they put people on a low emulsifier diet compared to a high emulsifier diet.
