A brand-new randomized study says a vegan diet can slow biological aging in just one month. Great news. Except one of the aging clocks in the study said the vegans got older — and that was one of the strongest statistical results.

That sent me down a rabbit hole.

Biological-age clocks. Omega-3 scores. Glucose monitors. Microbiome scores. We’re surrounded by increasingly precise numbers — but do we actually know what they mean?
