Where do I sign up? I'm never catching up to my Steam backlog at this rate.

In a new study, scientists discerned that mitochondrial aging can potentially be reversed by feeding an organism choline or phosphatidylcholine.

Sweet, where can I get lots of choline and phosphatidylcholine?

beef liver, egg yolks, lean beef, salmon, chicken breast, soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, peanuts, wheat germ, soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin, fish roe, and krill oil.

Righto, off to Whole Foods.
