everything we’ve been told about aging may be wrong scientists just discovered that the “biological clock” tracking your aging isn’t actually controlling it, it’s just reporting the damage. the real driver of aging are permanent dna mutations 1/

for years, researchers have treated epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation patterns that correlate with age) as a fundamental driver of aging itself. the assumption: reset the clock, reset aging. but what if the clock is just a byproduct of dna damage? 2/

researchers at UC san diego analyzed genome and methylation data from 9,300 people. what they found: somatic dna mutations (tiny, irreversible changes in your genome) map directly to methylation changes one mutation doesn’t just affect one site. it remodels entire dna regions 3/

in simple terms: DNA damage doesn’t just degrade the genome, it rewires the epigenome. the study found that: - single DNA mutations triggered methylation shifts across 10,000+ base pairs - mutation-based aging predictions matched epigenetic clocks meaning, the epigenetic clock is just keeping score of mutation-driven damage. 4/

@IterIntellectus OMFG i have been focusing on methylation for my vitamin cocktail and exercise regimen for over two decades. this is so validating 🥹
