But fruit, I want to emphasize this because there's so much demonization of fruit.

Now, fruit seemed particularly important.

And the participants that ate the most fruit had a 30% lower risk of having shorter telomeres, which is still... We're talking significant differences here.

Like in science, these percentages... It's almost a third.

I mean, it's massive.

They're high.

Yeah.

They're really high.

And I think drinking coffee, it was slightly lower, but still a quarter was associated with a 26% lower risk of shortening telomeres.

So essentially, I think what we have to remember is these foods aren't consumed in isolation.

They were all consumed as part of that healthy med diet, which I don't think was made that clear in this particular article.

They always isolate.

They isolate the foods, don't they?

Because they want you to feel good about having your coffee.

can't expect to see 25% decline in aging just for drinking coffee if your diet is predominantly a UPF rich diet with very little plants and vegetables.

But this is what happens whenever I'm asked to contribute to an article.

I'm often asked about foods in isolation.

I always try and get a line to kind of summarize it in, but

It's more clickbaity and much more attention grabbing for readers because it isolates what you can and can't do in your brain.

Otherwise, it's too overwhelming.
