Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Eat processed food and get older faster!

There is a lot of research on aging repairs, I wonder if I might benefit from it in time.

Depends. Is your income above $500,000?

No, why?

Treatments are not supposed to be expensive.

Most of that anti-aging stuff I've seen is close to moonshot type technology and even then with little gains. However, we've certainly found lots of things we like do to in our society that ages us faster that we can cut out. Sadly, some of the main contributors are expensive to avoid, such as stress. Just from my personal observation it doesn't mean living a longer life as a numeric number of years, but instead those decades at the end become much closer in lifestyle to the lifestyle of our youth with regards to mobility, cognitive function, and overall health.

Then you might have looked in the wrong place. There are only a handful things that make us age (like cells not dying correctly and becoming senescent, the hayflick limit, and some 4-5 other groups), they have startups working on them all, to varying degrees of course.

There are even the first ones out there, but it's a bit like when mobile phones were invented, they were big, clunky, expensive and didn't work well. Now you don't even want a perfectly working cell phone because smartphones are getting cheap too. I'm hoping the trend will be similar, and that's what smarter than me people work on.

What you said is right though, don't eat processed food, don't be sedentary, don't drink too much or smoke, and you'll probably live a healthy life for quite some time.

all these bullshit studies do is look at diet while ignoring physical activity.

Epidemiology is a joke "science" for flunkees.
