> if you target inflammatory biology, you can alter the evolution and the consequences of multiple diseases… you might be able to alter the outcome for a whole set of diseases of ageing we’d all like to avoid. They stop being weight-loss drugs, with all of the controversy about lifestyle drugs, and they become drugs that will target diseases.
Aren't there many causes of inflammation linked to lifestyle?

Not that I'm against magic bullets or think that poor health is a moral failing.
