How do I know what to do with it, where to store it?

So we have...

Yeah, and we're going to try and rattle through this in a meaningful way.

The principle here again is we have to start.

It's just like, honestly, it's a headache.

I'm going to lift this up.

Well, that was... People thought it might just be an expensive piss, you know, in terms of what's the worst case scenario, a waste of money.

And then a few studies that were quite important came out that showed actually there's one with beta-carotene, which is a form of antioxidant.

So you get it in...

orange and sort of bright red food.

So carrots got loads of it in and red peppers be in there.

And it's an antioxidant that's quite involved in going to the skin and protecting from sun damage.

So people supplemented it, but found that actually people who are smoking and supplemented it had a higher risk of cancer.

than those who didn't supplement with it.

We found a similar thing with vitamin E that certain populations, when they took these vitamins, and some vitamins are what we call fat-soluble, which means they can, in excess, be stored in human tissues.

Others are water-soluble, which means you're likely to pee them out if there's too much of them.

And what we had is a few studies, you know, well over a decade ago that showed, actually, this isn't just a risk of an expensive pee.

If you put a super high dose of a nutrient in without considering where you started and where you're ending up, you could harm yourself.

And I don't think that was...

as widely understood or popularized as it should have been.
