Related, Miriam Kalamian's book recommendation:

" While I urge everyone to learn more about mitochondria, perhaps instead of approaching your study through the eyes of researchers, pick up a copy of science writer's Nick Lane's book Power, Sex and Suicide: Mitrochondria and the Meaning of Life. What a fascinating read!"

So I now have a copy from the library, and know by "fascinating" she did not mean an easy or a short book. About same number of pages as the Lipton book. I haven't been able to find the time for it at all...so many other new book requests came in at once. I am easily sidetracked by Sisson and Emmerich's new books bright color photos , but promise to give mitochondria a try...someday.

And nothing to do with Low Carb. At. All. I recommend my other distraction Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers Who Helped Win World War II
