“Telomeres are tiny caps on the end of our chromosomes that protect DNA from damage. Telomeres get shorter each year until they reach a critical length which causes the cell to either die or become senescent (metabolically inactive). When this occurs in stem cells, it leads to tissue aging.”

“Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form in foods when their sugars, amino acids, and fats encounter heat. The molecules rearrange, forming brown polymers (a process known as the Maillard reaction) and creating the deep flavors of browned barley in beer, roasted coffee, seared meats, and French fries.”

“The health factors that were adjusted for in the analysis included age, gender, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, depression, ApoE4, physical activity, social and productive activities, vegetable and fruit consumption, fish consumption, and daily coffee consumption.”

“What’s even more alarming is how easily these chemicals leach out of plastics, especially when heated or in contact with acidic or fatty foods. That hot takeout container, the water bottle left in your car, or even your daily coffee cup—all can expose you to microplastics and chemicals like BPA.”

“Caffeine intake during pregnancy is associated with negative outcomes, so the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women limit their caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day – roughly the amount in 12 ounces of coffee – during pregnancy.”

“Iron-chelating nutrients include polyphenolic compounds, such as gallic acid and catechins (in tea), caffeic acid (in coffee), quercetin (in apples and onions), ellagic acid (in walnuts and pomegranates), curcumin (in turmeric) and others.”

“The investigators found that plant-based food metabolites (from cocoa, coffee, mushrooms, and red wine) and microbiota-derived metabolites (from microbial metabolism of polyphenol-rich apples, cocoa, green tea, blueberries, oranges, and pomegranates) appeared to exert a protective effect against cognitive decline.”
