high iron levels probably accelerate aging… More and more scientists suspect that high iron levels probably cause normal cells to age faster and ultimately become senescent zombie cells 🧟♀️.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
New study shows people with increased iron blood markers tend to have older epigenetic ages.
Epigenetic aging may simple be the underlying readout of this process https://t.co/N9u2DmuYrF
We know for sure that a common feature of senescent cells is their high iron content https://t.co/n7V8CHcDNz
Increasingly we see that people who have high levels of iron have accelerated aging.
remember, keep the iron levels low
