Two researchers discuss C15, a milk fat compound linked to aging and biological age. Low C15 levels correlate with faster aging, and optimizing this fatty acid may slow the aging process and extend healthspan.
There's problems with milk protein, but milk fat is, like, the most important thing.
If mom is C15 deficient, then her milk is C15 deficient and her baby is C15 deficient. If we have C15 deficiencies, we develop new form of cell death called phoroptosis that accelerates our aging. So our job to get C15 back into our lives, slow our aging rates, and then optimize C15 to get us a little closer to your goal, which is to live longer. Study showed that people who have more C15 on their complex lipids had younger biological ages than their chronological age.
