It's probably the least harmful of the five.

I would say the worst is probably cigarettes. Okay. Yeah.

You know, like I said, nicotine occurs naturally in the human body. It is a neurotransmitter. And I think that there may be some studies that suggest that it affects the brain in a positive way, but there's always other side effects, right? So when you introduce exogenous nicotine, when you introduce excess nicotine,

So when you introduce exogenous nicotine, when you introduce excess nicotine,

akin to what happens with marijuana, because cannabinoids occur naturally in the human body, there are other downstream effects in the human body. And I think that to say that nicotine supplementation or these pouches is net positive, that's a stretch. Yes, it might make you more alert.

Yes, there may be some data for nicotine with regard to dementia, but I think it's going to have other negative effects in the human body. It can raise blood pressure, increase your heart rate. It's not a benign substance to be just using without caution. And I think that these pouches are quite addictive. And let's be honest, they're used as a drug. There's no question.

They're absolutely used as a drug. These are drugs.

Yeah.

There are a number of studies. I think there are over 50, and they're all observational, associational studies. You can't really do an interventional study with this. But I believe there are over 50 studies that are associating increasing levels of fluoride with lower amounts of IQ in kids, which is scary because humans don't need fluoride in the water.

The reason fluoride is in the water is because our diets are so bad. So putting fluoride in the water, it's debatable. There may actually be a potentially lower IQs. And the reason kids are getting so much tooth decay is because of all these things that we're feeding kids. And I would argue kids are having so much tooth decay because of a lack of fat-soluble vitamins in their diet.

So when I talk about eating fruit, when I talk about fruit juice, when I talk about honey, sometimes people say, but isn't that going to increase decay in my teeth? And I'll say, no, it won't if you are eating meat, if you are eating animal foods.
