Interesting. On the other hand, in your body during life it is estimated that there are 10’s of thousands - possibly millions - occurrences of DNA damage per cell per day. Seriously - those are the estimates. Obviously most of these are repaired.

Is DNA damage (and lack of repair) what causes aging?
