"Reverse brain aging", sure, in the same sense that taking Vitamin C reverses aging. The nasal spray reduced markers of inflammation in hippocampal microglial cells. A lot of things reduce inflammation. That is not "reversing ageing". Of course, "reduces inflammation" doesn't headline very well...

There is a pop theory that aging is just scurvy in slow motion and Vitamin C hypersupplementation actually goes a long way in staving it off.

That's not an "AI tell". If you read anything in recent decades, this is a turn of speech human writers wrote for ages and still write.

Anybody who still writes using their own mind has stopped using that pattern, along with others. "The thing nobody tells you:" is no longer used by decent writers.

Yeah, like nobody uses em dashes anymore right?

Sure let’s listen to someone with extreme anxiety about the most utterly democratic humane experience

Not all "utterly democratic humane experiences" are desired, so why not.

Why not have crippling anxiety? It shortens your lifespan for one.

This short story was scarier to me as a kid than anything else I read at the time.

The movie adaptation — “Charlie” — is heartbreakingly good.

This one? Not called “Charlie” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210044/

I know lots of writers who have (reluctantly) stopped using em-dashes. Many replaced them with colons, and are now wondering what they will replace colons with.

I know people who didn't:) Looks like we both know people.

That's a 2000 remake of the 1968 film.

Also, I misspelled the title: It's "Charly"
