It's your buddy, Sid Rosenberg, and yeah, I'm famous. But guess what? So is my guy Mike. I love him and his son, Michael, at Genesis of Brooklyn. This is not your typical dealership. Trust me, I've been there. It's a gorgeous place. The service, legendary. Brooklyn Family Values, Baby, that's what I'm talking about. Free valet pickup up to 25 miles. Current year Genesis loaners, three years of maintenance included, transparent, efficient,

respectful, the best luxury service around.

Genesis of Brooklyn, these are my guys.

Mike and Mike, more luxury, less money.

And we're back here on sitting friends in the morning.

James Flippin and John Katz and Matiti's filling in. And we've actually got Chad Lopez in studio right now. So just saying hello to Chad. What's going on? Nothing. It came in. I mean, you guys are here today. You're working. You're working hard. And the audience is calling in and they're happy. They're happy that you guys are doing that. It's good to be here with you. Good to be here with the sit-in friends in the morning audience.

And we're joined right now on the guest line by Dr. Peter Mickelos, who is a regular contributor here to many of the programs on 77W ABC.

Why is that such a significant thing for health professionals thinking about these dyes?

Well, I think it's very important because some of these d, there are concerns that they are linked to certain cancers and certain behavioral issues.

And these dyes were not in the diets before, you know, 1950, 1940.

And as all these different dyes were introduced, we don't really know how they incorporate

into our cells, what they do to the gut microbiome, what they do to our gut bacteria, you know,

80% of our immunity is in our guts and how they interact with other chemicals in our body.

So this slow removal of these chemicals that were not part of our history may start showing health improvement. So by basically, as we say, we are what we eat. So by going more farm to table and start getting back to eating from nature, we will.

We're doing better there.

We're doing better.

But guess what?

Because they kill certain bacteria.
