If sugar causes wrinkles, how do you explain this? Not a single forehead wrinkle. That expression should produce wrinkles. Incredible skin. He's doing something right. (47-48? and Paul is 47 here)

(And the energy of a 10 year old with adhd after 15 years of fruit, honey and sugar)

FYI, the thread has been updated to clarify that sun exposure is probably not the answer.

sounding very catty

Sounding catty should mean meowing or hissing, right? idk

Update:
Bad news cat lovers, anger towards cats appears to be growing:

catty (adj.)
1886, "devious and spiteful," from cat (n.) + -y (2). Slightly earlier in this sense was cattish. The meaning "pertaining to cats" is from 1902. Related: Cattily; cattiness.

"devious and spiteful,"

Someone should fix this. Subconsciously you encourage cat abuse. I'm not even kidding.

@Serotoninskeptic It's possible. Maybe he just picked a very bad mixture that even includes sugar as Johann said.

The rapid change has me thinking there must me more to it.

I need to look for some samples of white surfers living in Costa Rica. That is a genetic mismatch. He is not well adapted that sun intensity. But was he not already surfing? He just changed so fast. It's hard for me to get my head around it.

@Razvan said in Tracking down the mysterious cause of Dr. Paul Saladino's shockingly rapid aging:

He looks like a smoker, that's how much his collagen production gave up on him

I thought the same thing.

I've seen homeless, chain-smoking, alcohols age less in 3 years.

There's lot's of talk around here about excess protein. I don't know about eating massive amounts of organs either. Maybe you can gobble down too many beef testicles.

(I am not claiming or implying that Dr. Saladino has at any point smoked cigarettes, consumed alcohol nor have I heard he's ever been homeless. He has however freely admitted to enjoying beef testicles.)

So people know what I'm talking about:

Homophobic slur charged in lawsuit of bicoastal carnivores’ fight for diet dominance
https://westfaironline.com/courts/homophobic-slur-charged-in-lawsuit-of-bicoastal-carnivores-fight-for-diet-dominance/

A California carnivore is fighting a Westchester carnivore to restore his reputation in the dog-eat-dog world of meat-eating nutrition services.
Paul Saladino of San Diego claims that Frank Tufano of Thornwood posted defamatory videos ”“ depicting him in “sexually graphic and homophobic” images, for instance ”“ and highjacked his name for an internet domain in a lawsuit filed Nov. 7 in U.S. District Court, White Plains.
“Why is a 43-year-old doctor suing a 27-year-old former bartender?” Tufano asked in a brief telephone interview. “It doesn”t make any sense at all. Why does he care about what some guy in New York thinks?”

Though he is not demanding a pound of flesh, Saladino is seeking $600,000 in damages. He is asking the court to stop Tufano from publishing defamatory statements, make him remove defamatory videos and take down his website, transfer ownership of PaulSaladino.com to Saladino, and order him to make efforts to restore Saladino”s reputation.

Litigious Paul Saladino aka Paul Litidino, the litigious MD.

I don't believe Brad makes much money from this forum and I am able to imagine a $100 legal zoom notice from Dr. Litidino ending it's run. Censorship wins but that's the way it is. So I'd rather not antagonize the guy too much even if it's completely appropriate.

He went after Frank Tufano who was a very small Youtuber still trying to build an audience and probably hoping to engage Paul for views. But instead he got drained financially by Paul who used the system imo

Maybe the guy likes the old nose candy.

You make an excellent point. He may or may not be taking chemicals that have made the situation worse (or do you mean like powder sugar?).

You're trolling hard.. lmao.

To me it would only be trolling if I didn't really think his aging was remarkable and if I wasn't really curious about why

@oliveoil said in The mystery Dr. Paul Saladino's shockingly rapid aging:

I don't think he looks much worse. Also, one video is taken with a crappy laptop webcam or a smartphone camera which masks and softens facial features while the other video is taken with a high quality camera.

Well people can look for other photos but if you're going to be completely fair then you have to mention the first video was before they had filters. Dave Asprey's set would have professional lighting and filters which means he looks worse in real life.

@Corngold said in The mystery Dr. Paul Saladino's shockingly rapid aging:

@Insomniac

He may have private health issues. Otherwise I think low carb is insane which he is iirc.

I have a hard time understanding how an MD with a good understanding of human physiology and the desire to live his life on camera giving health advice would knowingly do this to his own face.

A health issue could explain things.

@the_black_jew said in The mystery Dr. Paul Saladino's shockingly rapid aging:

you think being neurotic about foods and jumping from promotion of one dietary trend to another is optimal?

No it's not. I could have sworn I've heard him use that word. I'm changing it.

All good points. His judgement is questionable.

This reddit post is from 2 years ago:

Anyone notice that he’s aged rapidly since incorporating tons of fruit and honey in his diet??? I wonder if this is just natural aging due to time passing by. Or maybe it’s the sun exposure from where he lives now. Part of me also wonders if the diet change may have sped things up. The changes in his face seem to have happened really fast within a short timeframe. I hope this doesn’t come across as mean spirited. It’s a genuine observation and it just makes me wonder.
