Episode 61: Zion Adventures, Bears Woes, and Gut Health Myths: Navigating Wellness with Brother Anthony and Gelindo Foo
What happens when adventure meets health and wellness? Join us on Yeah Foo Nah Foo as I, Gelindo Foo, and Brother Anthony share our personal stories and experiences. From my mother's recent visit to Brother Anthony's thrilling escapades in Utah's Zion and Bryce Canyon, we delve into the beauty of nature and the familiar challenges of maintaining good habits. We even chat about the Chicago Bears' perpetual struggles and marvel at the spectacle of a full moon and partial lunar eclipse.
Ever wondered if fasting is really effective for weight loss, or how cholesterol impacts your health? We break it down for you, explaining the difference between HDL and LDL cholesterol and the factors that influence these levels. For those on a plant-based diet, we highlight the importance of incorporating HDL-boosting foods like omega-3 rich oils, avocados, and walnuts. We also discuss the risks of consuming fish and the benefits of opting for plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Probiotics: beneficial or just a bunch of hype? We tackle this question head-on, emphasizing the significance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome through diet and lifestyle choices. From unpasteurized sauerkraut to yogurt, we share practical tips on how to incorporate probiotics into your daily routine. Wrapping up, we encourage listener engagement, invite you to check out our content on social media, and sign off with our signature phrase, "bonsai and chow.

Hey there and welcome back to Yafu Nafu. I am Jalindo Fu and I am here with Brother Anthony Fu. Brother Anthony, how are you?
Speaker 2:I'm fantastic. Same same, Never day.
Speaker 1:Always good, good deal, good deal. How you been. I've been good, good deal, good deal how you been. I've been good. Just went and sent my mom off on a jet plane this morning back to Arizona, and so now I'm getting back into my-. How was that visit? It was good. It was a good visit. Yeah, you know, but I'm kind of a creature of habit. I guess we all are.
Speaker 2:So she got you shaken up a little bit, not out of your habitual lifestyle not, not, not.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know she's cold all the time. I want the windows open all the time, that kind of thing. But other than that, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know it, it was fine, it went well, it was, it was a good trip oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I sorry I missed her when you both were here.
Speaker 1:I didn't miss you, but I missed her. Yeah, we got to hang out a bit. Oh my gosh, Did you watch that last Bears game? Real quick.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, yes, I did. How about that? For no offensive line? Yeah, same same, Same story, different. All you do is put in a new quarterback, all right, our third, our third, first round quarterback that we've chosen in in you know the last, whatever eight years, our new offensive coordinator, new gm, and same fucking shit. That's it, yeah, like which. Show me something different, please. That doesn't, doesn't show a bad offensive line and it cripples everybody else. And now we have like one of the best receiving cores and what happens?
Speaker 1:nothing, squat oh well, anyway, how have you been?
Speaker 2:I'm good. I'm good since last time we talked I've uh I died guided and sled that trip, uh to utah zion area, okay, and uh was in, was in zion and that was fun. Had a bunch of people Did some horseback riding, hiking, some e-biking which I never did, which was kind of fun. It's just like. Basically to me it was like a motorcycle, like I was just having fun gunning it. It gives you legs if you don't have like pedalable legs, if that makes sense. I mean I'd prefer just to pedal myself, but that's okay. We set this event up and it was a lot of fun. Did some kayaking too, which was fun as well. Good deal Beautiful out there. Then afterwards went out to Bryce Canyon and that was fun. That was great, both really beautiful, different and fun.
Speaker 1:How about this last full moon? How about it? I saw it. Did you see the eclipse?
Speaker 2:No, there was another eclipse. There was an eclipse last Sunday, so it was a partial lunar eclipse, so it looked like the moon was wearing a little chapheel. Oh, a little hat, that's what it looks like. No, a tiny little hat. It was fun. It was beautiful, huge moon. It had a little hat on it for a couple hours.
Speaker 1:I just know it was so bright over here that when I was going to bed I was thinking I left the light on in the bathroom. That's how bright it was. It was pretty wild. I have some questions for you and I know I ran some of them by you and I don't know if you have answers for them. Anyways, but, as we can still go and discuss, I'm sure you might have some insight. And I did get some feedback about one thing and I got to read this to you. Oh please, I love feedback, and it was something about when we're talking about hydration and caffeine. It was my friend's wife and she's a nurse and she said FYI, too much water causes hyponatremia not hyper, that's what I said.
Speaker 2:Hypernatremia, that's what I said. About five times you said hyper.
Speaker 1:She said it's hypo and I was like, okay, oh right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's right, it is hypo. Okay, hypo and intrimium and then.
Speaker 1:But then she goes on to say about oh, coffee doesn't dehydrate you because there's not enough caffeine in it. And then I bounce back and I go well, continue listening to the episode. Because he said regular coffee won't do that, that you have to do a bunch of caffeine pills and not drink water, and then, therefore, it would wind up dehydrating you. Repeat that again. She was saying in her text message that coffee won't dehydrate you, which I responded back. Continue listening to the episode before texting me me, because later on you explain why coffee actually doesn't dehydrate you, but caffeine pills so she just heard the end part of the the one episode and did listen to the beginning of the next, right, right, perhaps that that could be it, but I just thought that was kind of funny and she was.
Speaker 1:I said just keep. I said our disclaimer at the top, which I should put out now, is well, I'm not an expert on anything, so you know, don't take my opinion as gospel, um, but you can usually trust brother anthony she is correct.
Speaker 2:I, I stand corrected. It's hypo in that condition, having too much water, which means low salts in your system and too much water in your system, and I, I think I was saying hyper during that, during that episode, which means too much salt in your system, got it and uh, not enough water in your system okay, well there we go. So yeah, thank you for picking that up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure. So I wanted to dive into this because some people, when I was in Chicago and they were, you know, just those people those people having conversations and stuff.
Speaker 1:And there was somebody that you know because I was doing. You know I'm trying to be as much plant-based diet as possible and then I had somebody saying oh well, what I do is I fast. I do the fasting as weight loss and where they wind up fasting, I don't know if it's for a day, and then they eat. And I've heard of people doing this and I just was curious if you know what your thoughts are on this fasting weight loss method and does it affect your metabolism in the long term? Feel less bloated because they don't eat for the day and then they feel like they're losing weight because I just know, by being plant-based and exercising regularly, my diet is staying, my weight is staying consistent and I'm feeling consistent as far as not feeling bloated and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, fasting, more than likely, you know, on the plane or whatever. We periodically fasted during our evolution, not by choice necessarily, but just because maybe seasonality or lack of food or we couldn't find something for a day or two, and so we have plenty of body stores to keep us alive for several weeks, really. So more than likely. That's not necessarily to say that that's healthy for everybody. And as far as like losing weight, it's really it's a pretty simple formula. Like in a day period or a week period, it's calories in and calories out. That's it how many calories you're burning versus how many calories you're taking it. And you know that includes, like, when you're taking a shit, and you know eliminating calories that way and you know that kind of stuff as well. So, like, can you lose weight fasting? Well, it depends. What you're doing on the rest of the day is that you're not fasting. Mostly, what we know is it's calories in, calories out.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right. Well, we'll move on. We'll move on to and I don't know if you have and if we've already discussed this. That's because, as I'm getting older, I keep having the same conversations like they're brand new Um do uh, I had, somebody was telling me that they were, they were sending me stuff about how uh, statins for cholesterol increase the risk of alzheimer's disease and that cholesterol is good for you. And I just was. I I wasn't going to have that discussion because I'm not. I just listened to what my doctor tells me. I don't go by youtube or t TikTok.
Speaker 2:But that's just me. But I thought I would, I would, I would, I would ask Holy shit, I didn't realize you were that smart that you don't need YouTube or TikTok to inform you. Or fucking Facebook in the olden days, instagram, I think. I know I learned on Instagram.
Speaker 1:I just went okay.
Speaker 2:Yes, cholesterol is very important for us. We need cholesterol. Cholesterol is in our cells. It's signaling devices on our cells. Cholesterol is extraordinarily important in animals. Yes, it is. There are certain kinds of cholesterols that are quote unquote the healthy cholesterols versus the unhealthy cholesterols. So your low density lipoproteins, your LDLs, are considered your less healthy cholesterols and your HDLs are your high density lipoproteins, are your healthy cholesterols, and there's a little bit more that goes into the equation, that that your triglyceride levels and and so on. But generally, if you have high ldls, that is where you're going to build, start building up plaques, and your, your, your, your vessels are going to become less pliable, they're going to become less elastic and that's going to, or potentially can lead to, heart disease. You know, uh, hardening of the arteries, that kind of shit. Well, hdls clear your bloodstream and clear your body of cholesterol.
Speaker 1:Why, if I'm eating a clean diet for the most part, as far as I know that and I know that it's hereditary, I think because everybody in my family has high cholesterol why is it that I have to take statins when I'm being pretty clean plant-based? Any idea?
Speaker 2:Well, not everything's in your genetics. Genetics are just a part of it and we had this discussion before that all physical characteristics, including, like chemistry, physiology, is genetically based but environmentally dependent and those things can change and we've had that discussion. However, you know, perhaps I don't know what your diet is day in, day out, and perhaps you're not eating foods that promote HDL. So HDL, like foods and like, maybe, omega-3 fatty acids, but both omega-3 and omega-6s are fine and you know there's no need to avoid one or the other of those, but it's like omega-3s are particularly good and those come in your, your seed oils or your vegetable oils, canola oil and, uh, flax seed oil. Okay, avocados are loaded with hdls. Uh, walnuts are a really good source of hdls. Uh, like flax seed. Uh is really really good for omega-3 fatty acids and ALAs, or alpha-linolenic acid I probably fucking butchered that, son of a bitch yeah, linolenic, linolenic acid, linolenic, whatever Linolenic.
Speaker 1:Annex Annie Lennox.
Speaker 2:Annie Lennox acid. Oh yeah, she probably did a lot of acid listening to her. So, anyway, back to soy, soy oils and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Okay, and so omega-3. And what was the other one, hdls?
Speaker 2:So increasing your high density lipoproteins? And people say fish like, eat cold water fish, alabut and all that kind of shit. Obviously, as a vegan, I don't eat that shit and I would argue that fish are. They're toxic. These days they have, they bioaccumulate massive amounts of toxicity and the whole thing is it's not sustainable. But anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1:If I was doing a tablespoon of flaxseed oil every day? Is that enough for increasing your happy HDL?
Speaker 2:I don't know how much. I don't know how your body all bodies are unique would handle one. Maybe you need two, but I would actually suggest eating flaxseed. I have flaxseed almost daily in my diet, and the reason is is not only is it loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and ALA, but also it has other vitamins in it, but also it has a real shit ton of fiber, and we know fiber is very, very good for you. Okay, so, eating a high fiber diet and we mentioned this before that 95% of the US population is fiber deficient and we know that fiber is a very good way to avoid different kinds of cancers, hypertension. Fiber is just a good thing to have in your diet, and flaxseed, like ice spray, I'd throw it on everything.
Speaker 1:Flaxseed, I can pick that up at Whole Foods.
Speaker 2:You can pick it up basically anywhere. Yeah, what do you have out there? Schnucks or whatever the fuck. You probably get it over there, schnucks.
Speaker 1:What are we in Sheboygan, wisconsin? What do you call it, cooper? What is it?
Speaker 2:Trader Joe's. No, no, what's the other chain you got out there? I don't know what the fuck? It's called Sprouts, not Sprouts, that's probably so. None of those freaking gouged the shit out of you at stores Vons, albertsons, vons, vons and Rals. That's it, vons and Rals. I ain't thinking of fucking.
Speaker 1:They're all owned by Albertsons anyway right.
Speaker 2:I don't know if Albertsons owns Rals, but I know that they probably own one of them.
Speaker 1:The password is Vons, so anyway, Okay.
Speaker 2:Well, that's good. You can get it probably anywhere. All foods are going to have it, yeah, or sprouts are basically.
Speaker 1:Okay. Well, that's something I'll discuss with my doctor, because he said that the last time I had seen him and he goes oh, your HDLs were really good, but your is it? Sdl, ldl, ldl, ldl. Those were like at a number that it was staying steady, but if I had come off the statin it was going to wind up going higher. So you're taking statin drugs, huh yeah.
Speaker 2:Don't judge me Interesting, I'm not. Was that sounding judgmental?
Speaker 1:If cocaine would reduce my cholesterol, I'd be doing that.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't, we'd be hitting that again.
Speaker 1:It's medicinal.
Speaker 2:We'd be trying on the good old days. It's medicinal. Get on my digital.
Speaker 1:I'm moving to Columbia.
Speaker 2:That's right, it's for my health.
Speaker 1:It's for my health, some for my health. Some people go to florida, not me.
Speaker 2:I'm going to columbia for my cholesterol and again, like I'm not a, like I'm training. Ecology, evolution, physiology physiology is that plant physiology. You know so. So there be the, you know they're, they're. I'm sure there's people that are way more knowledgeable about the detail, about you know. I'm just saying because you know, I know a little bit about this, because, right.
Speaker 1:Being, you know, somebody that cares about what I put in my body, trying to have a better understanding, I like to ask those kind of questions, obviously, yes, I would go and talk to my doctor. I'm not going to go, oh yeah, I'll just stop taking my statins. My point always is I don't think my doctor's trying to kill me, because then his customer base goes down.
Speaker 2:That's true, but also you got to consider, as you're keeping you on, is he not giving you the information that you need to know to lead a more healthy lifestyle? Why do doctors not talk about nutrition? Because they know shit about nutrition. That's why, like almost all our modern we talked about, all our modern ailments are basically foodborne illnesses, but yet doctors don't talk about that, why they either don't know about it, which is a disservice, or they do know about it and keeping you sick, which is even worse Either way.
Speaker 1:Well, I know that if I ask my doctor certain questions, you know he's usually giving me the.
Speaker 2:You know the straight poop. Well, that's what flaxseed will give you too.
Speaker 1:Okay, straight poop, I like it.
Speaker 2:All right, it won't be straight, it'll be like fucking a cow pile. All right, tmi. So yeah, so if your HDLs are, high.
Speaker 1:It's kind of curious that your LDLs are high or abnormal as well. Well, I wouldn't say that my HDLs are high, rather that he just said that they were at a good number. I don't pay any attention to that stuff because I'm not a doctor, so I just all right. I can barely keep the information I need in my head as it is, let alone extra medical information.
Speaker 2:Last time I did my, did like my blood work. My LDL was like in the normal range, whatever low to normal, and my HDLs and I'm not joking you, we literally were off the charts. That's what I want Like the scale it went up to. This particular scale we were looking at was like 70. I forgot what it is like, whatever it is blah, blah, blah or deciliter, and mine was like 75. And they're like you're off the charts, so whatever, okay, sounds good to me.
Speaker 1:My LDLs were not high, they were right where they needed to be. And he was like if we take you off the statins, they're going to wind up popping up. But if I start doing maybe and I'll talk to him about that If I do the flaxseed oil or the flaxseed seeds and I start incorporating that, if that winds up increasing that up there, then maybe that will then lower my LDL.
Speaker 2:That is what should happen. Okay, that's what should happen. And then, well, the question also is where are the LDLs coming from? Are you still eating like a lot of bile, like LDLs are coming from animal products. That's about it. So, like you know, butter, cream, milk, any of that kind of shit Like there's, here's your LDLs.
Speaker 1:Occasionally ice cream, like you know, at a family party or something. Maybe I'll indulge in that, but not on a regular.
Speaker 2:Well, that's not enough, then.
Speaker 1:It's not a regular basis. You know I'm pretty much plant-based all the time, so that's why I was just kind of curious about that. But I'll try and pay more attention to that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. You know, occasionally a little bit of butter, or vegan, not vegan butter, forget whatever it is but sometimes throwing that into something I might be cooking, you know whether it's like pasta. You know just having butter noodles. But I'm not doing. I don't do butter on a regular basis daily. You know every meal, nothing like that. Stay away from breads, pretty much.
Speaker 2:It was the butter. What was that? What was that movie? The old lady saying the whole time like it was the butter. She killed him with the butter. I don't remember what movie was that some guy, I forget what the hell the movie was. I don't know. I thought you might it was the butter. I don't know. It was about some marriage movie, some silly thing from 40 years ago. I fucking don't remember. I don't know. It was the butter though it was the butter.

Speaker 1:I've got one more health question and I know that we've discussed this, but I'm asking it again for a friend Are probiotics beneficial or is this just hype, exaggerated? And I'm not saying probiotics from just food, and I don't know if there is in food.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course there is. You can get probiotics, for example, I eat unpasteurized sauerkraut, which has a lot of good microbes in it. A lot of people eat yogurt, which is live bacterial cultures as well. So you can get probiotics from food and a lot of what you're eating. But also, are probiotics good or bad? I don't worry about that because I know my gut flora is healthy, because not only my diet but I eat a lot of things that promote good, healthy environment inside of me.
Speaker 2:What I want to say about the whole probiotics thing is people have to understand that a human is actually a symbiotic organism. So we have about 10 trillion of the more complex cell type, that's, nucleated cells, called eukaryotic cells. And then we have about 100 trillion for lack of a better terminology. They're called prokaryotic cells, but they're anucleated. They don't have nucleuses in the cell, but they're like bacterial cells in our body. So we actually have more of those kinds of cells that are different kinds of organisms living in us, on us, up your ass, in your eye, in your ear, all throughout us, in our joints, all over the place. All right, so we're talking about probiotics. We're talking about probiotics. We're talking about making sure we have a healthy complement of our friends that live with us and in us that we could not live without. And that's the important thing. Everyone has about two to six pounds, depending on your weight, of these other kinds of organisms living inside of us and, like I said, all over our bodies, on us and so on. So we're actually a symbiotic organism and so when these things get out of whack by taking too many antibiotics or something like that, particularly when we're young, then your body gets out of balance and the whole probiotic phase is to try to get your body back into balance or get more of those beneficial organisms that we can't live without inside of us.
Speaker 2:Because when we do things to our body like drink too much or acidify our body, eat too much meat and all this kind of stuff, what we end up doing is creating conditions for other kinds of bacterial type organisms, prokaryotic organisms, to flourish, and that becomes inflammatory in our system. It becomes bad for our system. We can't digest as well, so we count on these good organisms to do a lot of the work in our bodies, and when bad organisms are there, our bodies are not as efficient and all sorts of other things can happen. So it's becoming more understood that we need these good organisms. Hence probiotics are a way to try to bring our bodies back into route, but that takes also changing lifestyle as well, meaning changing your diet. Otherwise, what are you going to do except kill your good bacteria again and promote the other bacteria that can be inflammatory or not as efficient in our bodies anymore? But it's just important to know that we're a symbiotic organism. Almost every organism on the planet is a symbiotic organism, particularly at least multicellular organisms.
Speaker 1:Definition of symbiotic Layman's term.
Speaker 2:Layman's terms, different species living together as one unit. So we could pull out like the E coli out of our intestinal tract and we could isolate that and say that's a species. And then we could say, oh, human, human, homo sapiens, that's a species. So Escherichia coli is what I'm talking about, a bacteria that lives inside of us and then, but together we are a unit that makes up a different kind of organism. So we live together, or not a different kind of organism, but as a unit that lives together.
Speaker 1:The human body is almost like the host for all the other things living on you, thus making you, making it symbiotic. Or am I oprah, simplifying it?
Speaker 2:yeah, it doesn't have to be like that kind of stuff. So, yeah, it's a, that's a little. We're not necessarily a ho. I mean, I guess we are a host for these things, uh. But these things also occur in other organisms as well, or can these other species. But we also know that every human body has their own unique complement of all of these microorganisms. It's almost as identifying as our DNA, like our own personal microorganism complement. And it was a great study done a few years back now, like 10, 15 years ago. They swabbed belly buttons, found hundreds of new species, but also found a different complement of microorganisms living in people's belly buttons. No shit, yes, there are overlaps, but everybody's belly button is like a different island of different species living in it. Wow, how fucking cool is that? Yeah, wow here.
Speaker 1:I just thought it was just something. You know your belly button where you get to go.
Speaker 2:Yes, a little bit more than that and I'm sure if they would have swabbed eyeballs they probably found the same damn thing, or ears or asses or whatever that you know, we don't all have the same things in us and they actually found like new species of the science growing in people's belly buttons like what the fuck? It's great study. I actually I actually have that paper I used to have.
Speaker 1:I used to talk about that paper in my ecology course that's really, that's really interesting stuff, because you don't you think, oh, I, I showered, so I'm clean, everything is. It's just my, my skin and that's it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean cleaning the dirt off, I guess, but right but the organism. You'd be unhealthy if you killed everything else, right? Well, you don't think that way most people don't think that way.
Speaker 1:You're like I gotta get rid of all that. You know, all those germs. Gotta get rid of all that germs are bad germs are bad.
Speaker 2:Germs are bad. And I think we had this discussion before, like if you dig in the dirt as a kid, you're going to be healthier because your immune system actually gets worked up Right, right and learns like what is okay and learns so do I need probiotics? So are probiotics good for me? No, it's irrelevant if I have them in my diet or not, my diet or not Probiotics. What we know is that and there's been research done that, because we're overly antibiotic happy in this country, at a very, very young age we're giving more antibiotics than any other country in the world to our children. That by the time they've reached 10, 12, 14 years old, they've had five, six, seven doses of antibiotics which are not good for you, because most antibiotics are broad spectrum antibiotics which are going to kill. They kill good bacteria, they kill bad bacteria, they kill everything bacteria-wise. And then what you do is you pile on a poor diet or acidifying diet and you change the gut flora inside of us and you make your body more acidified. And we had this discussion when you eat meats, meats you know protein and all that kind of stuff is made up of amino acids. Plant protein doesn't have the same effect as meat protein as far as acidifying your body. Acidifying your body equates to basically creating an inhospitable environment for good bacteria. So are probiotics perhaps good for some people? Yes, because they have created conditions for bacteria that aren't as healthy for you than other bacteria in your body that are healthy for you and what I would consider our normal stomach flora except we are on this silly high-protein, high-meat diet that is killing everybody.
Speaker 2:So there are, and there's also studies that have been done like where do you get the bacteria from initially? And here's a fun one when would you get all of your bacterial complement initially, as a baby or in utero, you can say it you came out of your mother's vagina. Guess what came with all of that? Your mouth was full of all of her stuff in her vaginal canal. So we actually get seeded when we're in utero and coming out when we're born.
Speaker 2:In our eyes, in our mouth, in our nose, in our ass All of these holes in our body are getting full of mom's vaginal barrel bacteria, and that's how we get seeded. And so there's been studies that looked at people who are born via cesarean section versus those that have come through the vaginal canal and guess who has less physical issues or has a better healthy complement of bacteria, those that come out through the vagina. So what they are starting to do now, if a baby and there's been some really, really awesome studies comparing these babies, that cesarean babies, but also when babies come out cesarean what they've done has been swabbing the mother's vagina and then like putting that swab in the baby's eyes, nose, mouth, ears, so on, and lo and behold, baby. And so they do these side by side. Cesarean babies and those that get swabbed by their mother's vaginal juices turn out to have a much healthier constitution and less physical ailments.
Speaker 2:Nice. So this is all what we're talking Probiotics? No, we're just talking biotics. We're talking about what's naturally in your body. Probiotics are things that are going to stimulate, you know, the growth of good bacteria or give you good bacteria. Some people have wrecked their intestinal flora so poorly or so badly or have other issues, um, that now, if you do have, um, if you have a problem like that with with bad, uh, there's another, uh, you know bad intestinal flora, you can also there's, there's, you can do shit suppositories. So you get someone like myself who has this like wickedly, like hyper healthy gut flora, and you make a suppository out of my shit and you insert it into somebody else's ass, and so we're basically no, this is going on, and guess what it fucking works? It works Because what you're doing is you're seeding their body with good bacteria that are going to flourish and hopefully grow inside of their rectum and then climb up into their large intestine and into their you know, into their GI tract. So you're literally seeding them?
Speaker 1:Why are you not able or why are scientists not able to just go and take that good biotic that's coming from your anus and put that in a lab in a Petri dish and create the probiotic, instead of having to take your actual feces and creating a?
Speaker 2:enema, because it wouldn't be as fun, it't be funny, okay. Well, you brought it up. I don't know. I just I and I don't know if, and perhaps I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't know the answer to that okay but perhaps it's uh, it, it also um, it's. It's like an ecosystem I'm just hypothesizing here If you just kind of separate components out, you still have a lot of parts of the ecosystem that wouldn't be functioning. Or maybe it's just healthier to transfer the whole ecosystem into somebody else's ass. Okay, I mean, I don't really know, but it's a good question. Let's ask, let's get somebody on that can answer that question yes, somebody that knows why? Don't you just eat shit?
Speaker 1:Eat shit and not die.
Speaker 2:Eat shit and actually live Right. But it could also be, you know, another hypothesis might be that orally it's got to go through stomach acid and-.
Speaker 1:It gets broken down, you know that's a completely-.
Speaker 2:What's in your stomach is a completely different you know ecosystem than what's in your intestines, and you know, when your stomach acid refluxes up your esophagus, it burns the shit out of your esophagus, right, right. So, like it's, it's pretty pretty damn harsh environment I like to in your stomach when it's not that through the rest of your GI tract. So I would assume that perhaps you know there's some, you know. Maybe, though, some of those organisms are, are just not capable of living in that environment or wouldn't make it through. I don't know. Cool, I don't know, just eat shit and not die and not die.
Speaker 1:All right, well, you've answered all of my questions that I had for you today. Well, not really, but Well, we discussed it. It was a discussion. We discussed it, yeah we discussed it. Discussed it again you know it brought some light onto the subject, which is always good.
