Michael Greger, MD, FACLM
Michael Greger surveys aging research and translates it into practical food and lifestyle questions. The book is especially useful for readers who want a research-dense, plant-forward overview without treating diet as a cure.

Claims and specifications
Diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging.
MixedThe supplied trial evidence supports improvements in selected biological-age measures from diet in a specific older population, but does not establish that diet regulates every major aging pathway.
Not a finished-product study.
There are eleven cellular pathways for aging that can be disrupted.
UnresolvedThe supplied research does not evaluate this specific count or the claim that all of these pathways can be disrupted.
Spermidine can boost autophagy.
UnresolvedNo supplied research source directly tests this claim in the context presented.
Quercetin-rich foods may clear senescent cells in part.
UnresolvedNo supplied research source directly evaluates quercetin-rich foods clearing senescent cells.
Diet and diet-plus-exercise can improve biological-age measures in older adults with obesity over one year.
SupportedSupported by a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial; the findings apply to measured biological-age outcomes in the studied population and do not prove longer lifespan.
Not a finished-product study.
Omega-3 supplementation can modestly slow several DNA-methylation measures of biological aging, with additive effects from omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise on PhenoAge.
SupportedSupported by a three-year post hoc analysis of 777 participants in the DO-HEALTH trial; effects were small and based on epigenetic clocks.
Methionine restriction extended average and maximum lifespan in rats by about 40% and could translate into substantially longer human lifespan.
UnresolvedThe official excerpt itself notes that the animal results have not been replicated in people; no supplied research source tests the human extrapolation.
Dietary and lifestyle patterns can preserve youthful physical and mental function and support ultimate longevity.
MixedSome supplied trials support changes in biological-age measures, but they do not establish preservation of all body functions, prevention of age-related disease, or ultimate longevity.
Not a finished-product study.
