I know for sure the secret to long life it is not hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box or in and empty Doritos bag.

Nope… but there clues at the bottom of every bottle of whiskey. Each bottle answers the question a little more…

Reminds me of an old Craig Kilbourne joke. They are raising a sunken submarine built in 1850 that was used in the American Civil War to find out why it sank. The reason is that it was a submarine built in 1850.

Other than that, do people always know when they are about to slip their moorings? Logically one should know when you reach a certain milestone your days are few, A lot of people can sense their time is up. But when you are chugging along just fine and you don't sense it is about to end, is that a sign that it isn't?

Nice, that they compared between different species. Wonder why they did not compare between gender as well, since it is known that on average, Men die 5-10 years earlier than Women🤔

Mutations are a form of cellular atrophy... so yeah. This isn't new. We age because of cellular atrophy. We only have so many cells/generate so many cells and once we hit a certain age, they start dying off. The time of ageing depends on the half life of those cells, and how well the body has maintained them. Mutations could and likely do effect the number and health of those cells. Musta been a slow news day for Yahoo?

The reduction in the length of telomeres(the ends of chromosomes) has also been related to aging.
