Nancy Griffin started the #ExposeAgism movement, which has led many companies to want to eliminate the term "anti-aging" from their products and branding. We want to know how you feel about the term anti-aging versus the term healthy aging.

We asked and you answered, with the decision being somewhat split. 61% of our readers are still interested in information on anti-aging, and 39% are interested in healthy aging.
