ChenShuiBian Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Scientists are trying to produce a kind of medicine that can give strong antioxidants to human body when getting old. When will we see it on store? And I also know that this medicine can at least extend our living to 120 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's already (sort of) done in the form of tomatoes and other things. Concentrating it may provide some benefits, but you can't stop telomeres from shortening much, so death is inevitable no matter how hard you try.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's naturally in tomatoes. They don't have to add it in, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakuenso Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 there really hasn't been enough study done to say that anti-oxidants is the gem in the quest for longevity. There's a reason as to why we die when we're suppose to die.... millions of years of natural selection has made this very evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 They have them naturally. Epsecialy tomatoes, pomagranites, and apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The search is constantly on for an age slowing agent or something too keep people alive longer, the answer is thought to be somewhere in the genes. There will never be something to keep people alive for ever, like rakuenso has said its impractical. People have to die to make room for the next generation - thats the way it is and thats the way it always will be. We can advance our medical knowledge to no end but I don't think we will ever have the cure for death as it were... Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Tea has a lot of them, too... Now why can't we live indefinitely? Why will it always be that way? Obviously we can never get rid of everything that can kill us, but surely its not fundamentally impossible to combat those aspects of aging that lead inevitably to death, is it? Sure we're nowhere near that now, but never? Or is the objection philosophical/practical rather than medical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
