“However, the DNAm GrimAge epigenetic clock is a highly reliable predictor of healthspan and lifespan, based on DNAm surrogates in blood, including biomarkers of aging and alterations in blood composition. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses the strengths and weaknesses of using telomeres versus epigenetic clocks to predict risk of disease and death.”

“Dr. Krauss postulates that small, dense LDL particles — known to be more damaging to arteries — remain in circulation longer, and thus the LPS they carry stays in the blood longer, contributing to atherosclerosis.”

“Sugar that is found naturally in fruits is complexed with fiber that slows down the absorption. In addition, whole foods have much less sugar in them than processed foods that have added sugars.
