University of Miami researchers are studying biological age to predict who’s at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer. Dr. John Lewis, a voluntary associate professor at the University of Miami, has led multiple clinical studies on cellular repair and biological aging. Lewis has looked at how a plant-based diet could reverse your biological age and whether certain supplements — including aloe polymannose — can help, too.
