version of that.

And it also, this is me editorialising, tastes delicious.

I've only heard it like five or six times.

I think that's an interesting thing to pick up on this idea about buying supplements because there's a temptation to do that or if you don't feel like you're getting a balanced enough diet that you can kind of like top yourself up with supplements.

But the thing with supplements is you've got to be able to isolate something and then make it shelf stable and then package it into a format that can be shipped probably all over the world and then

be bioavailable to you by the time you actually put it in your mouth and eat it.

And to be able to provide that product at a price that is acceptable to a consumer.

When you see how dynamic these chemicals are in vegetables and fruit, you kind of see that it's almost an impossible ask to do that.

Okay.

And some

So a question that I wanted to come to.

So Laurent was asking about different fruits and vegetables and their kind of relative colourfulness of a sweet potato versus a normal beige potato.

And I think we've sort of said that you can you're getting something different out of all those different veggies.

Eat the rainbow, trust in the power of diversity.

That's great for you.

My question now, Norman, is if I'm looking at, say, two carrots or two capsicum.

And one of them is brighter colored than the other, does it follow that it has more of those compounds, those beneficial compounds in it than the duller coloured vegetable?

Yeah, it's really hard to sort of zoom in so tightly on an individual bioactive compound.

But what we do know from big epidemiological studies where you're looking at big, big groups of people and their patterns, like you say, is that when you have high intakes of plant products, you're looking at lower risks of chronic diseases and your chances of death.

So in aggregate, there's this protective factor going on.
