Heblaj01 - another very thought provoking and informative post which I need time to assimilate. Thank you for your work.

Mitochondria have a key relationship with fats which are "burnt" to make energy. If you think of the mitochondria as the boiler room in a steam ship...

Complicated and highly simplistic but maybe if you put the wrong fuel in the burner the exhaust products are more damaging to the "environment" than the average, the "grate" clogs up, mitochonria stop working and the surrounding environement is damaged.

Fats and the mitochonria and the mitochondrial membanes is a fascinating enormous difficult to comprehend topic if you are wandering on the web.
