P-cresol sulfate, which doesn't just damage the kidney, it damages the whole body from too much a- And of course, increases the kidney stones, gout, you know, arthritis, and deficiency of phytochemicals and antioxidants allow cancer cells to flourish.

So to review here, let me just show this slide where you see that phytochemical exposure, regular exercise, and not, and, and reducing caloric excess or empty calorie consumption activates those correct behaviors, activates longevity proteins like Sirt1 and AMP kinase, which then have ef- powerful effects.

All these things work together to stabilize our telomeres, stabilize our stem cells, slow aging of the body, reduce inflammation, and to allow your body to live to its natural age of around 100 years old.

Whereas excessive calories, high glycemic carbohydrates, right? More sugar, honey, white flour, and animal protein, right? Activates mTOR and other factors like we're talking about, other pro-inflammatory substances that lead to cell proliferation, cell growth, activate turning on can- cells to promote cancer, ages the telomeres, destroys the stem cells, creates chronic oxidation inflammation in your body, and dramatically shortens lifespan.

So we know, we know how we can control our epigenetic clock, right? We know we can control our aging clock.

Now the question is, why aren't people doing it, right? Why, why is the science not being translated to action? I speak at plant-based conferences.

I'm looking out in the audience and seeing that, like, 80% of people are overweight and still eating oils and white flour and all kinds of garbage.
