The use of “epigenetic clocks” demonstrates that sugar consumption is indeed responsible for accelerated aging.

Epigenetic age provides precise information on cellular aging. Based on epigenetic modifications of DNA, and in particular methylation, it enables highly accurate assessment of the risk of developing age-related diseases and accelerated aging.

Epigenetic age is determined by assessments of DNA methylation levels in the body, known as “epigenetic clocks”.

A recent study shows for the first time that sugar consumption is associated with epigenetic aging, which will inevitably lead to accelerated aging (1).Conversely, and logically, a healthy diet is associated with a younger epigenetic age.

The predictive power of “epigenetic clocks” on aging, and their accuracy, offer the possibility of evaluating lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise, sleep...) that will enable us to take control of aging.
