We all know cancer is nothing but uncontrolled cell growth & division. Mitochondria in every cell controls cell cycle. It is a kill switch. When there is mitochondria dysfunction, this kill switch is gone. The cells starts to proliferate & grow. The question arises what differentiates normal cells from cancer cells? It is how cells generate energy. Normal cells generate energy using aerobic respiration. They, in presence of oxygen via oxidative phosphorylation, generate ATP & releases CO2 & water as a byproduct. During this process, they utilize energy sources - carbohydrates & fats to convert into ATP. However mitochondrial dysfunction results in a situation of respiration insufficiency & cells start to divide & grow( become cancerous). These cancer cells can no longer use oxygen efficiently to generate energy. Rather it resorts to ancient fermentation pathways to grow utilizing substrates such as glucose & glutamine via substrate level phosphorylation. As long as people suffering from cancer keep on consuming a lot of glucose, they are enabling cancer cells to proliferate & grow. Unfortunately, we have not seen any healthcare practitioner/oncologist focussing on precision nutrition to starve cancer while nourishing health cells & adoption a nutritional therapeutics approach to stimulate mitochondria biogenesis. In episode 2 of “ Prevent Cancer Podcast”, we discuss the basic difference between normal cells & cancer cells.
