corybroo Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Probably not too relevant for this group Junk food linked to age-marker in chromosomes: study People who eat a lot of industrially processed junk food are more likely to exhibit a change in their chromosomes linked to ageing Three or more servings of so-called "ultra-processed food" per day doubled the odds that strands of DNA and proteins called telomeres, found on the end of chromosomes, would be shorter compared to people who rarely consumed such foods Compared to the group who ate the fewest ultra-processed foods, the other three showed an increased likelihood—29, 40 and 82 percent, respectively—of having shortened telomeres.
