But at the end of the day, their cholesterol is still the same, their inflammation is still the same, and morbidity and mortality still the same. So organic versus non-organic meats didn\u2019t show anything. So even though we all did that, when I used to be that way, I used to make sure my eggs came from Taos and they did yoga and sung Kumbaya, and then my massaged beef from Japan. And, you know, I was the guy that was just like that, but that didn\u2019t improve anything in terms of the numbers or lowering my risk of diseases going forward.\u201d - Dr. Sunil Pai &amp;nbsp; What we discuss in this episode:   What it means to have inflammation in the body.
