Why?

Because a byproduct of this stuff called cellular energy, ATP, are free radicals.

And free radicals are very damaging.

And you've heard of antioxidants.

And normally antioxidants have extra electrons that neutralize free radicals.

But in the mitochondria, that's the only cell in your body.

And by the way, you have 2 million mitochondria per cell in your brain.

Think about that.

2 million mitochondria per cell in your brain.

and there's like 5 million in your heart, blah, blah, blah.

Anyways, so when they get damaged or when there's all these free radicals and the mitochondrial DNA are located right where the free radicals are, they're getting fried all the time.

And the antioxidants can't get in there normally because it has two membranes.

It's like being in the ICE unit.

Normally, antioxidants can get into a regular cell and get out, just like proteins can get in and get out.

With mitochondria, there's two membranes.

I can tell you where the second membrane came from.

It's all evolutionary science.

But it prevents virtually all antioxidants from getting in there.

But there are a few that can.

One is chlorophyll.
