Latinos DO age slower than anyone else – and their genes ‘hold the key to prolonging youthfulness’
*I love when geeks say Latinos age slower at the molecular level (I nod and say “I knew that.”)

Latinos age slower than any other ethnicity, a study has found.
Scientists refer to the phenomenon as the ‘Hispanic paradox’, since Latinos typically have higher rates of diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.
But according to researchers at UCLA, the ethnic group is unequivocally healthier, lives longer than others, and has cells that take much longer to age.
Experts claim the findings, published in the current issue of Genome Biology, could help unlock how to delay slowing for all ethnic groups.
