| 0:04.8 | it never gets to the point where mitochondria is damaged enough that the can't use oxygen and cancer develops |
| 0:13.0 | Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast. I'm your host Ivor Cummins. We're supported by the Irish |
| 0:18.9 | Heart Disease Awareness charity which advocates a simple CT scan to reveal your CAC score. |
| 0:24.6 | So know your score and take action to prevent that premature heart attack. |
| 0:29.6 | Everything you need to know will be right here. |
