With the widespread use of dejanews and pubmed, a lot of the
repeated threads now go unrepeated. Thus more messages here are by
people who like to tell you about their newest product. Same all over
the net.
There is the longevity digest mailing list, for a higher
signal/noise ratio (although far less messages). It can be subscribed
to by sending email to list...@vm.ege.edu.tr with "subscribe
longevity-digest <your name>" in the body of the message. bionet.molbio.ageing is another newsgroup with very sparse
messages, but worth checking every once in a while.

Here we get to the split between life extensionists here:
Do we poo-poo supplements and herbs, subscribing to the "calorie
restriction is the only thing that works in animal studies" school of thought, hoping for unproven and farfetched remedies like telomere modification, cloning, or (finally) cryonics down the road? Positive
thinking indeed!
Or (more practical I think) do we guard our own health today?
There are scientifically proven therapies against cancer and heart

NMN plus RESVERATROL plus QUERCETIN in a phytosome complex.
I've read this newsgroup on and off for many years now. I must say that
it certainly has gone downhill. Where are the real scientific issues?

It seems like this newsgroup has become a bunch of sheep jumping on the new-supplement-of-the-day bandwagon. NEWSFLASH: Chances are Kombucha
tea isn't going to do much for you. Neither is Ginseng, Ma Huang, or
any other thing that sounds like a code word for parts of the male
anatomy.
Be a little scientific and have a little skepticism people. Don't you
think if any of these things really worked there would be
incontrovertible statistics on it? Some of these herbs have been in use
for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Do you see any 300 year old Chinese people
running around?
Instead of worrying about supplements that have tenuous (and that's a
very generous word) claims of life extension (and could even end up
hurting you), you would be better off writing a letter to your
congressman to request more funding for the NIH, or volunteering to particiapte in a research study, or picking up a book (for those
interested in theories of aging I would recommend Michael Rose's
Evolutionary Biology of Aging). The way real progress is going to be
made on these issues is through research - real research - not research sponsored by people trying to sell you supplements.
