No Cardiovascular Health Benefits Result from Most Common Dietary Supplements
It is well known within the research community that dietary supplements as a class achieve next to nothing for basically healthy people, those lacking any specific deficiency or medical condition that might cause that deficiency. In fact the evidence strongly suggests that some supplements, antioxidants for example, may even be modestly harmful over the long term. This scientific consensus has to compete with the marketing budget of the supplement industry, which seems to be doing fairly well for a community focused on selling a mix of largely useless and mildly harmful products. So studies such as this one continue to rol...

In conclusion, in the Framingham Heart Study population, in the last 30 years, disease duration in persons with dementia has decreased. However, age-adjusted mortality risk has slightly decreased after 1977-1983. Consequences of such trends on dementia prevalence should be investigated.

4 ways to protect against skin cancer (other than sunscreen)
It’s almost May and here in the northeast, front-of-the-pharmacy aisles are filled with myriad brands and types of sunscreen. While sunscreen is essential to lowering your risk for skin cancer, there are other simple, over-the-counter options you can incorporate into your summer skin protection routine.

A Set of Marginal and Alleged Senolytics Show No Meaningful Benefits in a Cell Study
Senolytic compounds are those that selectively destroy senescent cells. As the accumulation of senescent cells is one of the root causes of aging, and senescent cells contribute directly to many specific age-related diseases, there is some interest in the development of effective senolytics. As is the case for any field of medical development, however, there are as many marginal and possible senolytic drugs as there are useful and proven senolytic drugs. The size of effect, the nature of the side-effects, and the quality of the evidence all matter greatly - indeed, this is the whole of the point when looking at whether a p...

Isagenix. – Diet Review
Conclusion – Does Isagenix Work?
Isagenix Isalean’s shake is marketed well, but it’s loaded with sugar and calories. There’s also a lot of protein added, but once you research what kinds of ingredients are included, you realize it’s not a quality meal replacement. The protein added is cheap and can be found for a reduced price elsewhere. Many customers have also complained about the taste, lack of weight loss, and the hard to drink consistency.
There are better options which have only 1 gram of sugar, no added fructose, only high quality whey protein, and great reviews to back up their weight loss claims. T...

Results from a Preliminary Human Trial of Nicotinomide Riboside Supplementation
What sort of evidence would it take to challenge my assessment of the data to date that methods of raising NAD+ levels with age, such as nicotinomide riboside supplementation, are not worth pursuing as a major area of focus in research and development? Given the history of work in this area of metabolism, mostly that relating directly to sirtuins and their manipulation, one has to be a little skeptical. Initially promising (and overhyped) results in mice went essentially nowhere, or turned out to make the condition of obesity a little less harmful, while showing little evidence of utility for healthy individuals.

A Layperson's Video Guide to a Few of the Therapies that Aim to Reverse Aging
Last month a couple of noted YouTube channels, in collaboration with the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation, published a set of popular videos that covered aging and the rationale for seeking to control aging through new medical technologies, aimed at laypeople unfamiliar with both the current promising state of the science and recent years of advocacy for rejuvenation research. The videos are quality productions and were quite widely viewed - a good job on the part of all those involved. We can hope that some of the many viewers will stop to think about how they can help to make this vision for the future a reality, and u...
