What determines when a cell grows or burns, and what determines when a cell lives or dies? What if a cell is burning when it should be growing, and living when it should be dying, or vice versa? Any perturbation of the growing/burning or living/dying pattern will lead to disease. It’s through this lens where we find the clues to the real reasons for metabolic syndrome (spoiler alert: it’s processed food!), and also for both treatment and prevention.
