Linked videos on telomeres and epigenetics in the description
The description points readers to a linked video asking what to eat to prevent telomere shortening. It also links two videos on epigenetics and disease: one on epigenetics in the obesity epidemic and one on animal protein, pregnancy and childhood obesity. The description gives no results from these videos.
