Yeah, I've never understood those "detox" diets or whatever. It seems like they're doing fasting w/ extra steps...

And that's generally how I interpret stuff that sounds like nonsense. I know just enough about mitochondria from a high school health class that I basically ruled out RFK's statements as nonsense. I know they essentially produce energy for the cell, and that doesn't sound like something that would be widespread, and if it was, it wouldn't be observable with a passing glance, and it's certainly not something that would be unique to "kids these days."

That said, if my doctor said something like that, I'd give it more attention and ask questions. RFK doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, but my doctor does.
