Can you explain what autophagy is and specifically why "cleansing and restoring" are incorrect layman terms to use? I'm curious.

- Udik 7y agoAutophagy translates to self-eating. Cleansing and restoring are incorrect terms because they don't describe the process, but our hopes about its outcome.
- everdrive 7y agoI think if there's any problem with the term "cleansing," it's that too many people have used it in a totally meaningless way, and almost caused the term to drift. This is unfortunate, since it clearly does fit a (more sane) colloquial definition of "cleansing and repairing."
