Longevity Science, what is the real science behind longevity? - a podcast by Michael Morris MD

There is much more available discussion in podcasts on longevity today. Unfortunately most of that discussion is not based on science but based on select studies that facilitate the podcasts discussion. Recognize that any treatment with medications or pills is driven by experience with laboratory animals particularly mice. Mice have a much shorter lifespan and are inbred. How does this apply to humans? Very few studies on longevity with drug treatment have been done in humans. There is no prescription drug for longevity currently. You would be very surprised that the primary contribution to reduce longevity in this country is a reduction in what's called healthspan, Or what's considered morbidity. Today there is a rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity, hypertension cancer and arthritis. So much of this is attributable to Genetics diet and lifestyle. Something you have to be working on every day. Let's look at the science.
