Just drink a shot of a good extra virgin olive oil that is green and peppery tasting. Thank you Dr Li. You need to be an advisor to RFK Jr assuming he's going to be Secretary of HHS. Americans and  children must become better educated to eat Healthy for good nutrition, reduce obesity, diabetes  and chronic illnesses. So reduce all the ultraprocessed foods full of sugar, preservatives, etc.
