Yeah, just not to even make it even more complicated, it's not just a sugar thing. I'm sure that people have noticed that there's an acidity to Coke. It has citric acid in it. What happens when you take acid and you put it in plastic? You shed plastic into the beverage.

In the same way that if you go to your favorite coffee shop, and you get a takeaway coffee, and it sits on your counter because you forgot to finish it for three days, if that paper cup has not melted and seeped through, it's got a plastic liner. And these plastic liners are important because we're exposing ourselves to microplastics.

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.
