Methylation

I don't know what methylation is. But I can learn about it here! https://www.biocare.co.uk/news/methylation.html and here is the archived copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20211123102432/https://www.biocare.co.uk/news/methylation.html - this article is way more coherent than Wikipedia.

Go learn some chemistry or biochem and come back ok? Then the Wikipedia article might make sense. According to the above-linked website methylation happens billions of times per second and is useful for all sorts of things.

quote from citation above, but I've added a bunch of internal links. "In fact, poor methylation has been linked to many health complaints, including: Alzheimer’s disease,[i] polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS),[ii] birth defects,[iii] multiple sclerosis (MS),[iv] depression[v], autism[vi], migraines [vii] and heart disease.[viii] "

Methylation seems really interesting the whole dang article is a good place to start.

To do
There are a ton more key words from that article that need to get added for reference, I just didn't want to copy paste the whole thing.
