So I do, I avoid them, but I'm not... [...] But also in this journey of changing our diet... Like when we started off in microbiome research, I was in the habit of in the afternoons having a sweet, a muffin or a cookie, or something like that. And when we started to realize that we should be eating less sweets and eating more dietary fiber, this was an incredibly difficult change for me to make. [...] And so I would say, gradually over the course of like, five or more years, we have migrated our diet away from sweet foods to things that are less sweet. And it's been a journey, it's been a slow process, but we've gotten to the point now where we've just retrained our pallets. And it's amazing how this happens now, where I'll have something that is something that I would've used to have like daily. And it's unpalatable. I just can't deal with the sweetness of it. And I certainly avoid artificial sweeteners, but I also avoid just sweet things in general that have sugar in them, just because they now, was originally, I was trying to be disciplined and trying to change my diet, but now they just don't taste good to me.
