Dr. Ron Najafi and others argue calories don't tell the whole story because different foods generate ATP through different metabolic pathways. Glucose activates AMPK, the liver's fuel gauge, while fructose bypasses this mechanism and acts as a metabolic toxin that damages the liver and disrupts insulin.

We don't care about the heat, we care about the ATP.
And different foodstuffs are metabolized.
Differently to.
Generate those ATP molecules. This is why calories are irrelevant, and.
This is why we.
Must kill the calorie.
Just leading off from that, you mentioned how fructose is a metabolic toxin or poison. Can you kind of break down what it means and how it impacts the liver, insulin and different processes in the body and how it it handles it differently with fructose compared to glucose, for example.
So glucose.
Stimulates two enzymes that are necessary for mitochondrial function. It stimulates AMP kinase is like the fuel gauge on the liver cell. When you burn a lot of energy, you turn ATP into adp, adenosine diphosphate, and then into AMP adenosine monophosphate, because.
