A new super-pill, currently under development, could allow most people to live to 100 years old while cancelling out diabetes, Alzheimer’s and heart disease, according to a recently published article from Diabetes.co.uk.
Scientists are hoping to manipulate three ‘longevity genes’ they have identified that promote a healthy and long life. Researchers hope they can create a pill that imitates the genes’ function. One gene is thought to prevent diabetes, while the group of genes is said to protect people who have them against smoking, obesity and poor diet.
However, some are already questioning their scientists’ claims. As more information becomes available, we will surely hear more expert opinions on both sides.
