In cages at McMaster University
in Hamilton, Ontario, sit a group
of mice who don’t act their age. In
fact, they don’t appear to be aging
at all.
For several years, these mice
have been drinking an anti-aging
cocktail consisting of 30 dietary
supplements and vitamins. They’ve
had no loss of physical activity
compared to a group of mice
who didn’t imbibe, who showed a
50% decrease in physical activity.
Astonishingly, the combination
of vitamins and supplements
lengthened the lifespan of the
rodents that took it by 11%.
Did the Canadian scientists
discover the legendary
Fountain of Youth?
If you are a mouse, they did. But
the McMaster researchers say the
cocktail probably wouldn’t work as
well in humans.
For better or worse, whether we
like it or not, all of us age. It’s a
natural, unpleasant fact. Why we
age is open to conjecture. While
molecular biologists know that
our cells age at different rates,
they don’t know exactly why. They
suspect that environmental factors,
