>>11824221Worse it seems that the simple causes and obvious simple solutions are ignored without being tested:
Most people accumulate calcium and lose magnesium with age.
Iron accumulates with age.
Most people's copper levels drop early in childhood, to a fraction of with what they've been born with.
Very many zinc based enzymes seem to work better with cobalt.
Many long living people seem to have followed strange diets.
Almost any culture you pick holds or traditionally held that people didn't use to age.
Instead of testing the obvious explanations first (it is in fact true that mice avoid several signs of aging when you keep them on a low calcium diet) scientists instead work on proving how aging is beneficial and insist on giving the opposite dietary recommendations than what the data would suggest.
