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.

That's a tricky one. The problem with the microplastics is that I would characterize us as like there's a signal. We don't like what we're seeing here. We haven't actually done the research yet to have clarity of like what those risks really are. So I think there's enough there to say let's proceed with caution. Let's like be conscious of this and try to avoid this where we can.

But we can't yet say with total clarity that this is in fact as bad as this or as that. Part of the issue, Drew, is that these are microscopic. So again, like you can only see them with a microscope. We don't yet have a test measure that is consistently applied to characterize what quantifies. How do we quantify it? How do we find them?

Exactly. Here's my thought with Olipop. If I were to take a soda, like a carbonated water, basically, all right, and want to help you to improve your gut microbiome, I would prefer to opt for a high quality supplement as opposed to, because basically this is what we have here. Like to me, this is carbonated drink plus supplement. We mix them together.
