So the liver's not working great. It's probably not the first thing we're thinking of, but it's impacting cancer. It's impacting our thyroid. It's impacting our hearts, our brain. And so we think of those organs that are associated there, not realizing that it was the guy behind the curtain kind of pulling the puppet strings all along.

You know, I think that it's probably very complex, multifaceted. So it's probably not one thing that we can pinpoint. Once the liver goes bad, here's what happens. But it's probably a combination of things. I think the detoxification process that you brought up and the cellular damage, I think is a huge component.

I think inflammation in general, we do know that when you have liver disease and you're at more severe stages of it, your C-reactive protein, your sedimentation rate, inflammation levels tend to go up. We know that the microbiome is impacted. And so there's also that association between all of the components looking at gut health and the risk of cancer based on some of the components there.

So I think we probably need to learn more. We probably need to get more data. It's probably not as simple as we think, but it probably all stems from some component that the liver is not able to do any longer anymore. Detoxing is the most recognizable component, but we also know that obesity is an independent risk factor for certain cancers as well.

Again, is it because we're having an inflammatory storm occur within the body? Cytokines are going nuts. We have all of these things going on where the cellular damage is overloaded and cancer could occur. We need to learn more.

Absolutely. And I think one of the really concerning things here is just thinking about your audience and who you speak to each and every day, many of which are parents. So we are seeing liver diseases now being diagnosed in children as young as eight years old.

So, of course, that is also associated with insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and the risk factors that we had covered earlier. So, you know, the liver really, I always say it, man, it takes a punch. It can take a beating and keep going. It's like that Energizer bunny. So the good news is that it does take a long time to get to those latter stages.

But that's bad news if you're a child and you get this and you can't resolve it because now you have a whole bunch of time to be able to go to those latter stages where we start seeing these more severe consequences.
