And one of the earlier studies, I remember >> uh reading about this and it was found this correlation between those who smoked and ate more carrots, they they didn't get cancer as often and they lived better. Well, so logically we're like, well, duh, like smoking causes free radicals. Uh, carrots have a lot of beta carotene, vitamin A, so of course you're not going to get it. And then some some wise guy in the back of the room was like, you know, maybe we should actually study that. You know, it's like, why why should we study something we already know? And and so they decided to do a study on it. And lo and behold, they had to stop the study before they even finished it because those taking the antioxidants, this is not the carrots, this is synthetic antioxidants. those taking the antioxidants were getting cancer and dying faster than than those in the placebo. And the same was true with vitamin E and numbering. >> Exactly. Especially when they were smoking. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What were they giving in that stud? They were giving vitamin E, alphaol. Yeah. >> And then vitamin C. >> Um I think there's a several of them actually. I think there was one was just vitamin E and then some others where they combined them and then the one of smoking that was the first one I remember was just was beta carotene. >> Okay. So they did a number of them and all finding the same things because you're messing with the redux homeostasis of your body.
