Is this test itself flawed, or is it the “telomere length tells us useful things” idea that is flawed?

If the test is flawed/doesn’t accurately measure telomere length then it’s clearly a completely bogus company.

But if the test does accurately measure telomere length you get into the domain of “does that mean anything useful” and as the supplements industry has shown putting “may” in your claims with footnotes saying it might be complete nonsense means that you’re 100% not committing fraud.
