چکیده

While philosophers of science have marginally discussed concepts such as ‘nutrient’, ‘naturalness’, ‘food’, or the ‘molecularization’ nutrition, they yet to seriously engage with nutrition sciences. In this paper, I offer one way begin engagement by investigating conceptual challenges facing burgeoning field nutritional ecology and question how organisms construct a ‘balanced’ diet. To provide clarity, propose distinction between nutrient balance property foods dietary patterns balancing an evolved capacity regulate intake. This raises empirical issues, what properties constitute whether are same in all organisms. Additionally, while scientists use term ‘balancing’, its intension extension need further clarification. Based on literature, external detection, internal sensing levels, organismal regulation could basic recipe for balancing. Next, using evolutionary lens, examine acquisition some prokaryotes, slime molds, simple multicellular eukaryotes, quirks metabolism raise questions about origins universality Finally, build explication considering obesity cancer might respectively elucidate problems imbalances versus disrupted cellular

Everything in moderation

The presence of too many or too few centrosomes at mitosis can disrupt the timely formation of a bipolar spindle and may lead to aneuploidy and cancer. Strict control of centrosome duplication is therefore crucial. Centrosome duplication must occur once per cell cycle and the number of new centrioles made must be tightly controlled. The importance of protein degradation for the orderly progress...
