Scientists’ New Goal: Growing Old Without Disease
From WSJ, A study that helped convince the gerontologists to pursue the TAME project was done in the U.K. and published last year in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Researchers used data from a national registry of more than 180,000 people, comparing the treatment of metformin with that of sulfonylurea, another drug used for diabetes. They also created two control groups of nondiabetic people.
People who took metformin lived longer than those taking sulphonylurea, the study found. In addition, the people with diabetes who were 71-to-75-years-old at baseline and took metformin outlived their nondiabetic controls with a 15% greater survival rate.

I am going to start taking Metmorfin, no side effects and cheap! (metformin has been widely and safely used for more than 60 years, has very few side effects and is inexpensive).
If anyone hears about a drug that makes you sleep 2 or 3 hours and feel fresh and relaxed i would love to use it too. So much time wasted sleeping!

The story goes that Albert Einstein liked to sleep 10 hours a night - unless he was working very hard on an idea; then it was 11. He claimed that his dreams helped him to invent.
ReplyDeleteAlso he felt that naps "refreshed the mind" and that they helped him to be more creative.
