Capmikee,

I don't know why this is so little know. But if you want to learn for yourself, search for 'mitochondrial biogenesis' on pubmed. In one article I read : "Among several direct neuro-inhibitory actions, polyunsaturated fatty acids increased after KD (ketogenic diet) induce the expression of neuronal uncoupling proteins (UCPs), a collective up-regulation of numerous energy metabolism genes, and mitochondrial biogenesis."

From other articles I understand that there are more ways to increase mitochondria. Exercise helps.

I have never read this info on any site other than pubmed. This has convinced me to do my own research when it comes to my health.
