A new study from the online US journal Aging sounds too good to be true.

“the nearly 8-year reversal in the biological age of individuals taking Rejuvant® for 4 to 10 months is noteworthy, making the natural product cocktail an intriguing candidate to affect human aging”

Things too good to be be true usually are, but even if this particular supplement doesn’t work, the evidence seems to be mounting that ageing can be treated as a disease and quite possibly slowed, if not reversed. Over the years ahead, it may well be that healthspan (the portion of life spent in good health) will be extended radically, and perhaps even lifespan as well. That would be wonderful, but also bring huge social disruption. Are we thinking hard enough about what will happen if we actually get there?
