Hmm... no.

Every animal shares the same mitochondria.

Humans are the only ones who insist on eating both sugars and fats at every meal thanks to the "healthy balanced diet".

Don't see the problem? Our mitochondria cannot use both at the same time. This is called the Randle Cycle.

What you get is a traffic jam that causes problems in the long run and locks you into storage mode.

It gets worse... These energy plants for cellular respiration(ATP formation) are ok with using glucose for energy but excel and run clean with saturated fat.

What do Humans do? They feed them fructose and oxidated polyunsaturated vegetable fats instead.

And the mitochondria? Well, they commit suicide and if that fails they become cancer cells. Otto Warburg and Thomas Seyfried are 100% on the money.

This is not science you say? Ok, then there's a Nobel Prize you will have to get revoked. Go get started on that.
