Science 16 July pg 281-Destroying aging (senescent) cells improves survival! Senescent cells amplify damaging inflammation.  “senescent cell load and the secretome increase, which drives inflammation, tissue damage, further infection, inflammation-related pathology, and death.  Removal of senescent cells…reduces inflammation to below the “young” threshold, allowing disease resolution and survival.

Science 9 July pg 181: Microbiome is substantially heritable. Credit or blame your parents for dementia and obesity which are substantially due to your microbiome.  But also eat yogurt daily to help maintain a healthier microbiome.  And consider antibiotics to clean out a faulty microbiome and consume a better one with yogurt.

The major active components of garlic (Figure 1) are its organosulfur compounds, such as diallyl thiosulfonate (allicin), diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), diallyl trisulfide (DATS), E/Z-ajoene, S-allyl-cysteine (SAC), and S-allyl-cysteine sulfoxide (alliin) [15,16,17,18].
