And I finally realized like I'm doing one thing right here, which is I am actually getting the maximum amount of RS3 resistant starch.

So anyway, we'll note this in the table.

And again, remember RS2 you're going to buy in supplement form, whereas RS1 you're going to get in a whole oat.

By the way, you're not going to get that in an instant oatmeal.

Worth making that point here.

If you process the heck out of oats, you sort of lose this capacity.

Anyway, hopefully that helps with what a resistant starch is.

Yes.

You mentioned them at the outset, but I'll restate them.

So satiety and weight management, glycemic control, cardiovascular health, and colorectal cancer prevention.

So these are the big ones.

And this being the drive, we do everything in structure, and therefore we have a framework.

And so the way we want to do this is we want to, for each of these claims, ask the question, do we know the mechanism or mechanisms that would account for it?

Do we have a sense of the effect size?

Do we have a better tool to accomplish this?

In other words, should we consider fiber as an adjunct versus is this sort of the primary tool and the one that we should rely on mostly as our arrow in the quiver?

So after we go through each of these, we'll try to wrap it up with, hey, what's the recommendation on how much fiber and what type of fiber you should prioritize?

And effectively, it's just going to come down to how much data do we have to understand this and go through this framework?
