very interesting article. it states there that it will help you increase memory and endurance which is very helpful which is really a good thing if you want to slower you ageing. but i dont think this will have no side effects because sooner or later it will eventually have effects which are not good for the body.

Yeah..I too had that kind of thinking. Who knows, may be years later (after having a huge wrap in the market), they may tell "these pills are dangerous"

@yanyanyow, Yes, they might have side effects initially but then we would have other medicines to negate those side effects At end what would happen is that we would be told to have just a few pills and some more to negate the side effects... nothing else on our diet. This would solve the Hunger Problem that affects millions in the present world. Cheers, theSids.

There are already lots of products on the market that improve the way our bodies operate, and extend our lives. This is just another to hit the shelves. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Thanks for sharing this article. I find it very interesting. The first thing that popped into my head when thinking about it was how this would affect everyone's retirement savings. As the world population's average age increases, I think they would need to raise the retirement age to compensate. I don't think my retirement balance would last an extra 5 to 10 years!
