Or... I know this is crazy, we could take the poison out of our food.
Interesting thesis. I’m wondering what they regard as the causes of this “mitochondrial damage.”
My guess:
Climate Change.....................

“One weird trick”
Please make this stop.
Just a few days ago, they FINALLY started to admit that diet can control diabetes.
So it sounds like RFK is already poking around and now people that have been ordered to keep quiet about dealing with diabetes are trying to get out in front, before the HAMMER drops on them.
Humans can become “sugar burners”, even at the mitochondrial level. Cells show a clear preference for burning glucose. The pathways for for the uptake and reregulation for burning fatty acids become atrophied with disuse.
This is probably why intermittent fasting, and calorie restriction, low-carb works so effectively. Critics say “starving yourself” but it isn’t starving, it forces the body to relearn how to do something it is intended to do - burn fat for energy. There is only one organ in the human body that requires glucose, the brain, and our bodies can synthesize all that is required from fat. Imagine that.
Well, I did. I've been doing 16hrs+ of intermittent fasting now for nearly four years with little improvement in fasting glucose numbers hanging just above 100.
Are you trying to lose fat? I lost 80+ pounds intermittent fasting. It was the calorie restriction of course that does all the work. Sometimes as little as 600 to 800 calories. Most people don’t want to do that, not for very long anyway.
At 6-0 X 175#, I could lose a few, but not really. When I started the fasting, I lost 40# to the point that I had virtually no fat at all, but gained back ten very quickly. 165# was fine. It stayed steady for three years until I suddenly picked up another ten since last Thanksgiving. So I'm paying attention.
The work I do is either very physical or completely sedentary but intellectually demanding.
Likely. Free speech is a possibility.

Something tells me that this involves ‘a pill’ or the like. /s
...rather than taking some personal responsibility...
YOUR QUESTION IS SPOT ON: EXCESS MITOCHONDRIAL IRON CAUSES THE ACCUMULATION OF EXCESS UNMATCHED ELECTRONS (REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES) IN THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN IN THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY (ATP). THIS PHENOMENA HAS BEEN WELL PUBLISHED FOE 20 YEARS. I REPRESENT MULTIPLE GRANTED PATENTS ON THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
Would this “excess mitochondrial iron” at all correspond to ferritin and hemoglobin test results?

Nah. High fructose corn syrup is the bomb. Literally.
