Cannot cancel out harm from non-local, high-deuterium foods by drinking low-deuterium water. Must eat local, natural, not processed, not genetically modified food \r

Cameron Borg: \"I want to ask if there's something intrinsically, perhaps detrimental to excess deuterium coming from food. For example, let's say I'm in Stockholm at the moment, and I can go and buy a mango that's grown in Brazil that's going to have a deuterium signature that's very different than what I perhaps should be exposed to at this location. If I ate that, and then subsequently consumed an amount of deuterium-depleted water that effectively canceled out the excess deuterium, are things all square as far as deuterium fractionation is concerned in the body? Or is there something specific about the way in which it comes from food that might be specifically detrimental to the body?\" \r

László Boros, MD: \"Yeah, I mean it's both in the sense that you should be eating local food, and you should be eating local grown food and natural food, meaning that it's not really a kind of a food source or a fruit source that your ancestors, your microbiome, your community has not been exposed throughout the year.\" \r
\r
Cameron Borg: \"Everything should be yoked together.\" \r
\r
László Boros, MD: \"Exactly. Everything should be your own, everything should be in your community, that is you can kind of adopt to it through the appropriate microbiomes, sun exposure, oxygen tension, partial pressures, composition of other isotopes. Apparently, those have to be artificial food processed, meaning that it cannot be processed, it cannot be genetically modified, it cannot. . . There's a lot of stuff that you have to kind of stay away from when you walk into a department store and you see those shiny apples and watermelon from whatever is it is from. It's really not your food in the sense that, first of all, they don't grow there, especially not at that season. And when you eat it, you don't have the light exposure, the oxygen partial pressure, and you name it. It's just practically really not something you should be trying to oxidizing, you should be trying to, kind of, processing or use […] their high deuteron levels to produce energy from, because it's not going to happen.\" \r
