Dear Dr Yong, Thank you for your efforts to educate us. I am a 75 y/o youngster engaged in a combo Blue Zones (the zen of living) and an extensively modified David Sinclair program. A few observations: Taking calcium seems to encourage arterial calcification; I get mine through milk products (low fat Mozarella), vitamin D3 should ALWAYS be taken with K2 as the latter directs the calcium to the bones. As for fish oil, the Standard American Diet (aptly named SAD) is lunatic when it comes to oil. We have bought the myth that exogenous Cholesterol raises our heart disease risk. We should be stressing avocados, olive oil and some say coconut and peanut oil. Our diet as a nation is terribly unbalanced and along with excess calories (which promotes early disease), we eat the type of food that capitalist food designers have made for us, without regard to our health.
