A Vegan Diet Epigenetically Modulates Inflammatory Pathways and Biological Aging: Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of a One-Month Isocaloric Vegan Versus Meat-Rich Dietary Intervention.
MedComm·August 1, 2026·PMID 42549039
Why it mattersDietary interventions that modulate epigenetic aging and inflammatory pathways are of high interest for longevity and performance optimization. This RCT provides mechanistic evidence that even a short-term vegan diet can induce measurable epigenetic changes linked to reduced cancer risk and slower biological aging, informing dietary strategies for healthspan extension.
