    "claim": "Facebook Reel source",
    "label": "Confirmed",
    "finding": "Share resolved to Facebook Reel 1535998168040564 from Youngover40. Public metadata/title says “Scientists just moved the clock backwards” and includes “a molecule injected into monkeys…” but does not name the molecule."
  },
  {
    "claim": "“A molecule injected into monkeys made wrinkles disappear.”",
    "label": "Not verified in this check",
    "finding": "The Reel gives no paper, molecule name, trial registration, animal species, dose or image/citation. Targeted PubMed/web searches did not recover a matching reliable primate wrinkle paper. Treat as an unsupported viral claim unless a paper is supplied."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Retinal cells can be made young again / vision restored.",
    "label": "Real preclinical kernel, overstated for humans",
    "finding": "Nature 2020 showed OSK partial reprogramming in mice promoted optic-nerve regeneration and restored vision in mouse glaucoma/aging models. This was not a monkey wrinkle study and not approved human age reversal."
  },
  {
    "claim": "DNA damage/epigenetic information theory explains aging.",
    "label": "Hypothesis / research framework",
    "finding": "Epigenetic changes are a real part of aging biology; the “corrupted software” metaphor comes from epigenetic-information-theory framing, not settled medical doctrine."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Exercise can “fix your epigenome.”",
    "label": "Supported directionally, overstated",
    "finding": "A 2026 systematic review/meta-analysis found higher physical activity is associated with lower epigenetic age by some DNA-methylation clocks, but evidence is largely observational/cross-sectional and does not prove exercise resets cells to youth."
  },
  {
    "claim": "No drugs or injections are needed; movement is useful.",
    "label": "Health advice broadly supported, claim framing simplified",
    "finding": "Regular physical activity is well-supported for health. It should not be sold as a guaranteed epigenetic age-reversal treatment."
  },
  {
    "claim": "NMN/NAD booster interpretation",
    "label": "Possible adjacent topic, not shown in this Reel",
    "finding": "The caption says “molecule” but transcript/contact-sheet do not name NMN. Existing NMN/NAD source-card remains relevant background, but this Reel cannot be attributed to NMN without more evidence."
