Can you back up your implication that the saliva epigenome has no other meaningful and impactful correlates?

Why do you expect me to prove a negative? These "scientists" (really just tinkerers) need to argue for their implicit claim first.

But they don't. They take the (correct, but hardly useful) statement "methylation generally increases with age" and instead say "with maturity" to make it sound impactful.
