Uh the the key um indicator of that was nitrogen and people looked at nitrogen balance. How much did you take in? How much did you excrete? And they found that people could achieve nitrogen balance or at least sort of ordinary normal people of the time at about that level. Right? No one ever proved, demonstrated, or I think even claimed that that was the best amount or the upper limit or it was just that's probably enough to maintain nitrogen balance, which probably means it's compatible with survival.”
