Vitamin D supplementation is associated with slower epigenetic aging
Adverse effects of low vitamin D level on mortality and morbidity are controversially discussed. Especially older people are at risk for vitamin D deficiency and therefore exposed to its potentially harmful consequences. A way of measuring differences in the biological age is through DNA... -
Cellular "memory" of stress can be passed on for 50+ generations
There was a study that came out 2-3 years ago showing that when animals were exposed to a toxin, often the negative effects did not even manifest in the directly exposed organism but manifested in their offspring and were passed on for more than 14 generations. The study below now demonstrates...- haidut

So What Explains Why Balding Men Have More Body Hair
So conventional wisdom suggests that DHT is the cause of all genetic hair loss and that DHT is what causes facial and body hair to grow. Its pretty well documented that men with more body hair are more likely to go bald/are more often bald. What is also well documented is that males who are...- Kenny

Simple Metabolic Change Sufficient To Turn "normal" Cells Into "cancer"
Yet another study exposing the fraud/myth that somehow "cancer" cells are different and evil and as such the only hope for curing cancer is killing them before they kill their "host".

It Is A "folly" To Claim That DNA Is The Main Blueprint For Life

Aging Likely Caused By Decreased Respiration / Metabolism, Not Genetic Mutations

Wasps Are Capable Of Logic, Recognizing Faces, And Socializing Based On Memories
Every time I look at the title for this post I can’t help but think – so, how are wasps different from us humans? I think the answer is – not much, if at all.
