Well, what about, like you said, all the toxins going through the same pathways, it decreases the amount you can be exposed to any one of them because if you add all of them up together, the total quantity of toxins, whatever they are, will overwhelm the liver, the kidneys, or whatever the detox pathways we're talking about.
I mean, we mentioned this before, the same enzymes that process ethanol in the liver, it's called aldehyde dehydrogenase, that processes polyunsaturated fats, which come from seed oils. So it's quite likely that your total dose of both alcohol and seed oils should be lower if you have both than it would be one or the other. And so I think there's a pet theory I have.

I've not confirmed this, but I'd be interested to hear your take.

Um, there's a common thing on the internet about how the founding fathers, after they signed the declaration of independence, like rented out some bar in Philadelphia and just like drink obscene quantities of alcohol, even for like the most, you know, alcoholic of modern, you know, say frat bros or whoever, just like handles of whiskey per person, like this kind of thing.

Um, and I, I can't help but wonder, and I know people used to drink a lot more in the past, actually. Like you, if you go to the cafes and bars in Europe, you have these big giant shelves of liquors and stuff. No one's drinking that anymore. And people talk about how Gen Z doesn't drink that much, yada, yada, yada.

you know, on the grocery store shelf, you know, very likely it's basically... Corn and soy are basically in everything, even things that aren't food, right? There's corn in your gasoline.
