Wild new science alert: researchers found that as we age, our gut stem cells pick up sneaky chemical changes—thanks to inflammation and low iron—that quietly silence genes meant to keep cancer away. This “ACCA drift” can build up for years before any tumors show up, making our guts more cancer-prone with age. The twist? Scientists slowed (and even partly reversed) this process in the lab by boosting iron and cell signals. Gut health just got way more interesting! #Health #BodyHealth #GutHealth
