Thymus involution and calcifications caused by the excessive calcium intake.
Iron overload / manganese deficiency results in diabetes. MnSOD starts harming cells instead of protecting them when iron gets in the place of manganese.
Copper deficiency. Results in dementia.
Many enzymes seem to be evolved for cobalt, rather than zinc, but they contain zinc under supposedly normal conditions. Cobalt is used for doping in both human athletes and racing horses, suggesting it might be essential outside B12.

Calcification is caused by an inability of the cell to reject calcium, which happens due to cell stress. In fact, the parathyroid hormone that is necessary during hypocalcemia of low calcium intake causes stress, so low calcium intake also causes calcification

I plan to. Right now I'm struggling at community college. I'm 20 years old.

But I'll eventually make it to a university and either major in Biochemistry or Regenerative Medicine.
All in all, so long as I have access to a lab and learning materials, I think I'll be happy in life (even if I end up flipping burgers for a living).
Hopefully it won't come to that though.

I love biology and chemistry, and I'd like to live as long as possible.

You can't escape entropy, deterioration and death are inevitable. At some point prolonging the inevitable is worse than embracing it. There's a point at which using finite resources on the old comes at the expense of the young. There's a reason death is biologically encoded. Renewal and all it entails is good for the species.

>You can't escape entropy, deterioration and death are inevitable
Then why doesn't everyone just kill themselves right now if extinction is the end result anyway? Or into old age when quality of life is reduced? Everyone says "death is natural just accept it" but even decrepit elderly will use every tool of modern science to cling onto every single second. Why is is not selfish to push average life expectancy from 30 to 80, but it IS selfish to push beyond that?

If you want to just say it's not possible to do then fine, it's hard to argue against with where medicine is currently at. But every "Philosophy of Death" argument is nonsensical so long as you delay your own death with every breath you draw.

How do you get that from him? He was independently wealthy from his parents and had millions of dollars before he donated most of it to SENS. And the best way to make money is to have actual products that work and generate income, that's why SENS spins out start-ups, the idea is that they will become profitable and then in turn fund SENS themselves.

It's a major way it kills described in published papers, not something I came up with. It seems to specifically seek iron, people with high iron levels have high risk of dying, one of the proposed readons why some countries are left unaffected is the widespread iron deficiency, which protects from covid.

What's the point of even having young and reproducing? The end result is extinction anyway, whether we reproduce or not.

Either life is inherently worth fighting for, or it's not. There's no more a rule that 80 years is a rough limit on human life than there was a rule that half of all infants must die in childbirth for the other half to succeed. All you're defending is the natural order that you're used to, without considering that it's just as foreign to most of our ancestors as life extension is to you. It's not the default, nor the ideal.

What teason do you have to mock it? The extreme iron levels in those that would later die were noticed months ago. The mortality curve matches the ages when people often start suffering from disordered iron metanolism. And it is nothing unique for an infectious disease to thrive on iron.

The nost common causes are dietary. Wrong Ca/Mg ratio (lower is better); copper deficiency, manganese deficiency. It mostly comes from the citric acid cycle slowing because of the deficiency, which makes cells downregulate energy consumption, not anything "psychological".
