But in January, a, by Professor David Sinclair at Harvard Medical School, provided evidence that, more specifically, it is the disruption of epigenetic instructions that causes the loss of healthy tissue and age-linked organ deterioration.
There is already plenty of evidence to show that epigenetic patterns are influenced by factors such as diet, obesity, physical activity, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, environmental pollutants, and psychological stress – the kind of lifestyle factors that Bryan Johnson and his medical team are trying to micromanage.
“If people want to fly to Mars and live for ever, let them try. But let’s keep things safe and realistic for everyone else,” he says.
