True

Oxygen is essential for human life and also contributes to cell oxidation, leading to aging.

Infact verdict: True (85/100).

The claim that oxygen is essential for human life is well-supported by scientific evidence, as oxygen is crucial for cellular respiration and energy production. The claim that oxygen contributes to cell oxidation and aging is also supported by evidence indicating that oxidative stress, caused by oxygen, leads to cellular damage and aging. This process is well-documented in scientific literature.
