Here's the part I don't understand about Mitochondria.
- I have a love-hate relationship with alcohol. I love it, it hates me. Turns out that alcohol really messes with mitochondria. And could be blamed for the inflammation and obesity epidemic (via mitochondrial disregulation).
- But then I see pics of people at beaches and public squares in the 60's and 70's. They were drinking way more than we do now. And they look skinny as heck. (As heck!)
- And apparently, for hundreds (thousands?) of years in various parts of the world (especially the middle ages West, and ancient Egypt), people pretty much drank water mixed with alcohol all day (it was safer than raw water), and their food was a type of thick beer porridge.
- So it can't be all that simple now, can it?
