Instead, a range of naturally occurring compounds — many also found in fruits and vegetables — appear to play a larger role.

Like, that’s the problem with curing “aging”, when cells don’t die, that’s fucking cancer.

Exactly why we age. We evolved to slow metabolism and increase cell death or die of cancer. Linus Pauling took stupid amounts of vitamin C on a dumb theory and he eventually died of cancer.
