It's more of a hypothesis paper by a retired scientist. Bruce Ames, the author used to do experiments on vitamin and mineral deficiencies in animals 20+ years ago. What he found was things like increased DNA strand breaks. Nothing positive was found in terms of longevity or healthspan when supplementing excess anti-oxidants. It's possible to search Ames B[author] on pubmed to see his old publications.

  "Maybe some these things would extend healthspan if people have a less than optimal diet." 

...or that maybe some novel and expensive things might have small health impacts. Not that they do otherwise, or that there is rigorous experiments demonstrating so.

I think some people are eagerly clamoring to supplement based on this list, which is just fueling the 30bn dollar a year supplement industry.

Why not fund basic research into age related disease instead?
