It turns out that this load of sugar and starch is the most powerful driver of aging. It both shuts off the longevity switches and accelerates nearly all the hallmarks of aging, shortening our telomeres and damaging our DNA, proteins, epigenome, mitochondria, and microbiome. Sugar and starch also drive accelerated inflammation, create hormonal chaos, and age our stem cells. If you want to live a long and healthy life, sugar and starch should be either eliminated or used very occasionally.
