So after some research on this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere
and this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligible_senescence
Telomere shortening due to free radicals explains the difference between the estimated loss per division because of the end-replication problem (ca. 20 bp) and actual telomere shortening rates (50-100 bp), and has a greater absolute impact on telomere length than shortening caused by the end-replication problem.
and then this

stupid sugar and oxygen...
