What the... where did this idea of injecting hydrolyzed fullerenes come from? Fantastic that it works, but coming up with the idea in the first place sounds completely bonkers (in a good way).

They did a study a while back to see if fullerenes were toxic in mice and they doubled the mice life span. Lots of research outside of the U.S after that. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961212...

Nobody cares about this kind of research in the U.S because it's a synthetic substance that's not patentable.

That's amazing! I had no idea of this result.
