So how can the standards and discussions that take place at Codex ultimately influence nutrition standards and regulations around the world?

And as I said before, I mean, they're not, it's not always the final point, but it's often the, it's not the requirement, but it's the starting point on average, right? So Codex sets kind of a global recommendation for nutrients X, Y, and Z.

And then of course, countries are free to interpret that and adapt that based on the individualities of their specific region.

So this can be everything from the reference values that are used for labeling purposes, which of course can guide the formulation of individual products, ingredient standards for quality, health policy priorities, all of that, which can really shape market access overall.

So even when it's not a verbatim copy of the Codex recommendations, these often do serve as a benchmark and typically guides sort of set that Overton window of sorts in that individual region to influence the way that these regions execute based on Codex requirements.

If If we were having the same conversation five years from now, what is the one thing you would most like to have changed, whether that's in the science, dietary recommendations, public awareness, product innovation, or international nutrition policy when it comes to choline? Eric, you want to take a stab at it?

Yeah, I'd say, you know, if I could wave my magic wand and wish for one thing, I would say increase public awareness.

I mean, there has just been so much that has happened, even in the last, let's call it 10 years or so, advancing the field of chlamydia.

me ask a question to eric um eric how does this how does this all kind of uh make sense with regard to the concept of one carbon metabolism what's that all about

Yeah, so great question.

I mean, the one carbon metabolic system is basically the sort of body's internal system to keep these single methyl groups moving around.

You know, Emily gave that analogy of the library and making sure that this is pushing, sort of helping you find the right pages and sort of work in the proper way.

An analogy that I know Lauren appreciated as she is the president of her local book club, so that warmed her heart.

But what I'll say is those individual methyl groups, those individual sort of bricks in the wall, so to speak, come from nutrients in your diet, as you mentioned, things like choline and folate.

So as the system is moving and chugging along, this is sort of the fuel, the part of driving that engine to make sure that methylation continues properly.

But I understand that there's a nutrient gap to talk about here, right? I mean, can you share what the data shows on how many Americans fall short on folate and choline?
