I'm not a scientist. What is a mitochondrial challenge?
Everything RFK tries to understand is buried in a grain of truth. Yes, poor diets and sedentary lifestyles lead to younger and younger people with inflammatory diseases, which used to be a thing in obese elderly people. Inflammation is the result of release of reactive oxygen from immune cells, which is coming from mitochondria. No, mitochondria are not the cause, and in fact keep us all alive and free of disease.
Looks like the pseudoscience and supplement-selling name for a real set of medical conditions.
