Scientists Just Reduced People's Biological Age With A Four-Week Diet

A team of scientists has managed to reverse biological age in older adults using a four-week plant-forward diet

plantbasednews.org

OK- I spotted a glaring error: The researchers found that all but the omnivorous high-fat group showed reductions in biological age, and that the omnivorous high-carb group, which got 53 percent of its protein from carbohydrates, showed the most notable reduction in biological age.

You can't get protein from carbohydrates; everyone who frequents this board knows that proteins and carbs are two of the major (by weight), but different, nutrients of foods. The author may have meant "53% of their protein from carbohydrate-rich foods", which is an understandable error- but still, that's a major error, and casts doubt on the accuracy of the whole article.

I am going to challenge that a bit as many people might consider a potato a "carbohydrate" as that term is used loosely and I think that is what the author may have been trying to point out. Potatoes contain protein albeit a much larger component is carbohydrate - or green peas or beans, chia seeds etc which are a great combination of both protein and carbs. So technically you are correct in the you can't get 'protein' from 'carbohydrates' however there are very few foods that are pure carbohydrates so using that term to refer to a group of foods, IMO, is more the norm. The only pure carbohydrate foods would be things like table sugar, honey, syrups and pure starches and to a lesser extent white rice / white bread.

No doubts about the accuracy for me.

not a typo but I think its just the author "misspeaking"
I'm pretty sure what he meant is "which got 53 percent of its Calories from carbohydrates. " It is common for diets to be divide into low carb and high carb diets. high carb is usually over 60% of calories from carbs. So 53% is still not a high carb diet. But a moderate carb diet.

In many other studies Moderate Carb diets have shown to be healthiest.

For all the progress in plant-based dairy, one thing has been stubbornly hard to replicate: casein, the protein that gives cheese its stretch, melt, and richness.
A food-tech company has now produced that exact protein using microbes instead of cows, and it just entered active review with US regulators, a step it says no precision-fermented casein has reached before in this country.
The result is a dairy protein that is molecularly identical to what comes from a cow, minus the cow, the lactose, the hormones, and the herd.
The company expects a regulatory green light later this year and plans to start putting samples in front of US food manufacturers this summer.
If it delivers, the tired excuse that vegan cheese "just doesn't melt right" may finally be headed for the history books.
