But a grain-fed cow does not have the same magnification of linoleic acid in its tissue as a chicken or a pig because they're monogastric. Or a human, right? Not that we're eating humans, but humans store this. So we have the same issue. There's evidence from, I guess, archaeology or anthropology that

In our fatty tissues, humans historically had 2%, 3% linoleic acid, and now we're looking at 20-plus percent linoleic acid in our fat. So we are the same as a chicken or a pig being stuffed.

Back to the mitochondrial thing we talked about with the proton leak and, you know, potentially impairing at a cellular energy level. The hypothesis, which I think is supported by the literature, is that it's impairing the biotransformation of potential energy to kinetic energy.

But it's low fat. It illustrates the point, right? Yeah, yeah.

I mean, you and I both, I mean, we talked about this on the first podcast that we did. I wrote a book about the carnivore diet. I think that something with more foods works better for me and a lot of people long-term. But think about what happens if you just eat steak. You are just eating animal fat. which is very low in linoleic acid.

You're essentially doing a gut reset because you're just eating meat, which is very highly digestible for most people, contrary to popular belief. And you're eating only animal fat. You're not eating olive oil or avocado oil. You're not eating any seed oils. You're not eating any oils that are high in linoleic acid. A lot of things get better.

I think that for a lot of people, it doesn't work long-term. It gets a little too limiting. But it can be really powerful. And I think that this is where I'm interested in this idea of an animal-based diet, kind of this in-between. And on some recent podcasts, I thought maybe animal-based is kind of like carnivore 2.0, right?

Maybe you do carnivore as a reset, or you can just go right to animal-based. And animal-based, for people that don't know, it's just a term that I've used to help people understand the framework. It's like meat plus fruit. So I've got some squash in there on the table. Squash is a fruit.
