MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
In my previous articles I have told you about the ways they think life will be extended in the near future. They deal with the replacement of cells, organs or disease-related genes. However, those are solutions to the consequences of accidents, diseases and aging. Now I want to tell you about a series of experimental results that strongly indicates that the fountain of youth lies in a set of genes that regulate how we age. Thus, life could be extended if and when the molecular doctors learn how to modulate the action of those genes.

Now, what would you say if life span could be increased 40% just by dieting? Wouldn’t it be ironic to spend all those zillions of dollars to find out that by saving them, that is, eating less you could get to be more than 150 years old?
