I'm excited for ant-aging, not so much for an endless deluge of VC backed treatments/supplements that aren't grounded in science and/or ineffective.

Besides, lifestyle needs to be addressed first. Reduce/eliminate risky behaviors, eat correctly (whatever that may be), and exercise regularly. Then perhaps look into supplements and treatments.

Some vegans die at their 60s of "natural causes", Winston Churchill died at 90 after having smoked all his life and being very fat. Yeah, statistically there is relevance to eat correctly, but its not as dramatic as some like to believe.

General Montgomery: I neither drink nor smoke and I am 100 percent fit.

Churchill: I drink and smoke and I am 200 percent fit.
