David Turner is an Associate Professor at the National Cancer Institute designated Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. His strong British accent was honed growing up in the North of England where he completed his Honors Science Degree in Molecular Biology and Doctorate in Biochemistry at the University of Newcastle in the United Kingdom. His passion is combining his scientific research on A.G.E.s with a total commitment to making the world “A.G.E. aware”.  His mantra is “I want to allow families to make more informed food and lifestyle decisions which will allow them a longer life together free of debilitating chronic diseases”. David single-mindedly believes that “further scientific research is a necessity if we are to successfully change policies and food manufacturing processes in order to bring healthier food choices to everybody”.    

His favorite low A.G.E. food is organic Weetabix – a British staple breakfast cereal for over 85 years. Weetabix was a healthy food before healthy foods were invented.

 Sharon Cryan is a legal rebel turned Food Manufacturer due to her desire to change the way our food industry understands, formulates and processes our foods. She began her journey studying the regulatory structures behind food manufacturing in the US, where she discovered that of the top 25 food manufacturers, 86% of their products are ultra-processed. The research behind the negative impact that processed foods have on our health is not widely understood and communicated to the public. She believes that A.G.E. research is the way that science can explain the negative health implications that processed foods can have on our health. Her efforts to make this world a healthier place extends not only to A.G.E. research but also with nutrient-density testing and product creation, where she founded a raw plant-based food manufacturing company called foodnerd Inc. Her favorite low A.G.E. foods are fresh sprouts and sprouted organic overnights.
