Cool post. I constantly talk to people that seem to believe that this or that food supplement will stop aging through anti-oxidants. It's a very popular hypothesis, however - apart from a few minor points - widely incorrect.

Why do we age?
Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated the post. And yes, I wish we could stop aging just by eating carrots, but that's wishful thinking

However, aging can be reduced if we reduce the dietary intake by a certain amount. Problem is, the mechanism of why we age is poorly understood. The last idea floating around that I read a long time ago was about the shortening of telomeres and the accumulation of damage in the cell.
I will need to investigate further though.
