Anti-Aging Breakthrough: Stem Cells Reverse Signs of Aging in Monkeys

This is grossly wrong. "anti-aging" treatments won't reduce people's ages and won't undo epigenetic damage. And while age is the single strongest risk factor for cancer, it isn't the "primary cause", and there are numerous non-age-related causes of cancer.

Bad “anti-aging” treatments definitely won’t do it, but they also won’t provide indefinite lifespans.

> it isn't the "primary cause

Only if you’re using an inaccurate definition of aging. If everyone over 20 should have the same risk of cancer as 20 years olds the total number of cancers would drop by more than half.

P.S. The response is incoherent. Talk about "inaccurate definition" ... someone has an inaccurate definition of "cause".
