Yes.

So what happened was I encountered, long story short, I encountered a book that I'm sure you guys have heard of, but your audience may not have.

And the book is called Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by an explorer and a dentist named Weston Price.

And what he discovered was that that the diet does affect people in ways that is inheritable.

And that's what exactly I...

I was ready for that information because I was like, I knew about epigenetics and I knew the mechanism of that.

And Price had discovered that before we even knew what DNA was, right? And so he was able to tease out just through logic and...

Did their performance improve? You know, did their physical structure actually improve, you know, their muscle mass or anything? What was your experience with that?

I

mean, no, you can't taste the difference unless you know what you're looking for.

Like, unless you compare head to head, really, you can't tell.

And, you know, so many people are into the texture.

They're into, like, how hot it is.

And there's lots of spices.

They cover it up.

Mm hmm.

[laughs]

Remnant cholesterol is what I was left with after listening to what you spoke about, but still so much would go straight over my head.

My question to you, Doc, and you might be able to help too, what is a, let's call it an elevator speech, a 30-second, I mean, five seconds I think is all YouTube is asking us before we skip ahead, right?

[laughs]

What's the quick way to answer somebody when the very first thing I hear from anybody when they say, "You only eat red meat.

You're gonna die."

Rated PG.

Better.

So this is just a slide showing all the different studies that show different ranges of residual risk.

Somewhere as low as 62 to maybe like 80-something.

That's a lot of residual risk.

And so the underlying theory that they have got in their heads is that LDL is inherently bad.

They say, we all know, now we all know, that all LDL particles are atherogenic, not just big ones, not small ones.

Rated PG-13.

So whether you're heading into a workout, chasing kids all day, or trying to power through that afternoon slump at your desk, it's designed to help you stay hydrated and ready to go.

I've been making a Tidal Perform mocktail in the afternoons to get me through that afternoon homeschooling drag.

Yes, even in the summer we have an afternoon homeschooling drag.

[laughs] A scoop of Tidal Perform added to sparkling water with a squeeze of lime is my go-to.

It gives me that little extra boost to get it through math lessons or whatever else I'm making my kids do in the summer.

Christine and I love products that make it easier to support our bodies with high quality ingredients, and Baja Gold is bringing that same mineral-focused approach to everyday hydration.

Our favorite flavors are strawberry lemonade and lemon lime.

[laughs]

Okay.

Um, that's just the name of a molecule, and it's in, uh, it's one of, uh, belongs to a family of very toxic compounds called alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes.

Um, acrolein or acrolein is another one.

Uh, crotonaldehyde from cigarette smoking is another one.

And, um, in fact, when you use these things to cook with i- in a restaurant situation in a deep fryer, uh, scientists have tested the amount of toxin that develops when...

so they can tell you how much you're getting when you eat fries from a place like McDonald's or Burger King, and they found that the amount of these alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes is equivalent, uh, to the amount in a cigarette.

Like, on a one-to-one basis, one french fry equals the toxicity of smoking an entire cigarette.

I just wasn't sure if you'd come across that at all.

(laughs)

... you wouldn't think are inside my lane, but food is life and it, it... i- we cannot be healthy without good food.

And flavor is nutrition.

And so when we're eating foods that don't have a lot of flavor, we're not getting a lot of nutrition, and we need every calorie to be full of nutrients or we just won't be optimally healthy.

And you can see that over the past century as we've shifted away from traditional culinary values and using fats that match the flavor profile of whatever it is you're... whatever it is.

They didn't have these neutral oils, but they had incredible feasts and delicious, delicious foods, and...

So you don't need neutral oils.

(laughs)
